What is recorded here
No church wall or roof remains, but the graveyard still marks the seam where the living and dead touched. The site sat inside a possible ecclesiastical enclosure in County Kildare, perhaps a small centre of prayer long before the land was divided into fields and forgetfulness. What is missing is not nothing; it is the part the earth kept.
On a possible early ecclesiastical site (KD021-001005-) near the centre of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (KD021-001002-) and shown just SE of a graveyard (KD021-001004-) on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace of the church survived in 1986 (SMR file).
