The National Monuments Service's description
There are references to a hospital in Kiltoghert (Gwynne and Hadcock 1970, 353). This would be a hostel for pilgrims but there is no evidence that it was at the church, and not just in the parish. It is thought to have been close to the windmill (LE027-139----) on the Hill of Mong (Butler 1932, 74-5), but such a windy location is unlikely.
