According to Killanin and Duignan (1967, 159), Celbridge (formerly known as Kildrought), ' … takes its name from a monastery founded by St. Mo-chúa of Clondalkin … .' Bradley et al. (1986, Vol. 2, 126) note that practically nothing is known of this foundation. It was probably located on, or near, the site of the later medieval church (KD011-012005-), where the sweeping curve of Church Road around the church and graveyard (WNW-N-ENE: est. diam. c. 120m) may follow the line of an early ecclesiastical enclosure.
