On level mixed pasture and tillage at the E foot of St. Patrick's Hill (OD 308') and partially overlain at N by a farmyard. There is a 'saint's bed' (KD011-036----) c. 250m to the W and a holy well (KD014-024----) c. 300m to the WNW, both dedicated to St Patrick. The remains comprise a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD011-015002-), which contains a possible graveyard (KD011-015003-) and 'St Patrick's Church', a fine medieval building (KD011-015001-). This closely associated group of monuments, most named for St Patrick, suggests that there may have been an early monastic site here.
