According to Dowling (1935-45, 351), 'Crosspatrick (is) an old graveyard in which St. Patrick, according to tradition, founded a church'. Prominently sited on a hilltop with extensive but apparently disused sandpits immediately outside the monument at SW and ESE. The remains comprise a ruined church (KD018-001001-) in a graveyard (KD018-001002-) which also contains five Early Christian cross-slabs (KD018-001003- to KD018-001007-) and a medieval architectural fragment (KD018-001008-), probably from the church. The church lies on the S side of a low, grass-covered, sub-rectangular mound (dims. L 19m E-W; Wth 9m; H 0.4-0.8m) located at the highest point, to W of centre, in the graveyard. A rectangular area (int. dims. L 9m E-W; Wth 5m) is defined by low, modern, mortared stone walls (H 0.2m; T 0.4m) erected by the 'Crosspatrick Cemetery Committee', and the interior is covered with gravel chippings.
