The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight prominence, with the NW shore on the inner Wexford Harbour c. 700m to the SE. The parish church of Kilpatrick (WX037-017001-) is within a raised D-shaped graveyard (dims c. 40m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by masonry walls (ext. H c. 1.5m), with the straight side at N. The base and part of the shaft of what might have been a cross (WX037-017004-) is set up on top of the graveyard wall at NW. St Patrick's Well (WX037-018----) is c. 85m to the ENE, and aerial photographs (ASIAP, WX 70, 1 5) show the cropmark of a roadway (WX037-017005-) approaching the E edge of the graveyard from the S.
