The National Monuments Service's description
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.
