The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. Associated with ecclesiastical enclosure (LI056-002002-), road (LI056-002002-) and Ardpatrick church and graveyard (LI056-002002-/009-) lie to immediate S. Not marked on the 1840 ed. or 1897 ed. OSi historic maps. Depicted on the Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map as circular depression defined by a scarp. In 1978 the earthworks were described as following; ‘There are old quarry depressions in the side of the hill to the NW of the graveyard.’ Numerous depressions visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimages some of which may have been the result of quarrying while other earthworks are related to a field system (LI056-002004-) and others may be related to clustered settlement surrounding Ardpatrick Church and graveyard. Extensive outline of possible settlement earthworks clearly visible surrounding Ardpatrick church and graveyard on oblique aerial photographs (CUCAP ATD049/061) taken 21/07/1967.
