What is recorded here
Grave Yard stands on the west edge of Celbridge, marking a probable early Christian monastery tied to St. Mochua. Its rubble wall and iron gates surround a medieval church, while legible markers record burial life from the 18th century onward. The place keeps both sacred memory and ordinary death, quiet beneath the village.
On level ground on the W side of Celbridge village, on the site of a probable early Christian monastery traditionally associated with St. Mochua. Contains a medieval parish church (KD011-012005-). A roughly rectangular area (dims. c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W) is enclosed by a rubble stone boundary wall with a fine entrance gateway with wrought iron gates at NE. Legible burial markers appear to date from the 18th c.
