In an overgrown graveyard (KD029-016001-). In 1192 Inchbrislane [Gilltown] and Brannockstown [KD029-013----] were granted with Domnachmor (Yagae) [KD029-013----] to St. Patrick's. … In 1275, the Chapel of Gilltown or Kilton, alias Inchebrislane, belonged to the Cistercian Monastery at Baltinglass, which had a Magna Grangia [monastic grange] here in 1531 (IHS 1941, 39-40). The church is described as 'downe' in 1630, at the time of Bulkeley's Visitation (IHS 1941b, 80). The church has been levelled and a patch of uneven stony ground may mark it site.
