Fitzgerald (1896-99, 396) records: '1463. In this year it was enacted by Parliament that the Church of St. Columb, … should be annexed to the Monastery of the Blessed Virgin (KD011-034----) near Leixlip. … On the townland called Newtown … there is a holy well (KD001-003----) dedicated to St. Columbkill; the church of St. Columb may formerly have stood in it's vicinity'.
