The National Monuments Service's description
According to Gwynn and Hadcock (1970, 389), 'Cell-choca, the monastery of the 6thC virgin Cocha (Chuaca)' was located at Kilcock. No visible surface trace of the monument survives, but a later, medieval church (KD005-002001-) and graveyard (KD005-002002-) may occupy its site.
