The National Monuments Service's description
Davies (CLAJ 1943, 207) noted that 'Kilpatrick Church' (LH017-050001-) was situated on a small hill within a graveyard which was circular. In June 1947, a number of bones and few large slabs were exposed by the landowner (Cahill and Sikora 2011, vol. 2 496). No remains are visible of the church apart from some possible architectural fragments (LH017-048----).
