The National Monuments Service's description
According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 253), the Church of St. Mary Magdalen is referred to in 1307 as standing 'in the entry to Kildare' (Mills 1914, 514). A document of 1684 describes Magdalen Hill as ‘lying in the highway to the Curragh’ (and the present Hospital Street leads from the town towards the Curragh). The dedication and location outside the town suggest it was a hospital. No visible surface trace survives.
