Place & story
A small and irregular building
In his 1906 history, Francis Elrington Ball described Kilbride’s ruined church as an irregularly rectangular oratory measuring about nineteen feet by twelve. Its western tower contained a narrow ground-floor cell, an arched porch and a recess where a spiral stair had once risen. Ball interpreted the vanished upper storey as a priest’s residence. He also suggested that the raised graveyard occupied an earth fort; that remained his interpretation rather than a demonstrated origin. [2]
