Same site as WM011-040001-, depicted as a 'Leper House or Bridget's Hospital (in Ruins) on 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map. This building located S of St. Bigeasch Church was classified as a hospital and as a castle. The 1656 Down Survey map of Kilbixy parish depicts a small tower standing to the S of Kilbixy fortified church (WM011-040002-) which appears to be the remains of Bridget's Hospital which appears to be the remains of a hall house or 13th century castle rather than a hospital (NLI, MS 723-4).
