What is recorded here

No wall or roof remains, only a dense scatter of burials beneath trees in County Kildare. The chapel likely stood beside the graveyard inside an early ecclesiastical enclosure, but time and soil erased its shape. People may have prayed there, buried their dead there, and forgotten the exact line of its walls. What survives is not stone but repetition: bodies laid down, earth closed over them, and life continuing around the loss.
In a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD003-002001-) which also contains a graveyard (KD003-002003-). Shown to E of centre of the graveyard on both editions of the OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace survives and the area contains a dense concentration of burials. Visible as being overgrown with trees in a recent aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto 2005).
