- WM019-072 Burial ground
Description
Site was visited and recorded in 1980 when it was described as 'This is a small sub-triangular enclosure bounded by a stone wall, seemingly of 19th century date. Access is by a stile near the NW corner. The ground inside is rather uneven. There are no tombstones visible and no visible remains of a church. The canal skirts the south side of the site. A double bank and a fosse run outside the graveyard on the eastern side while an old roadway skirts the site on the west and NW. Sited on low-lying rushy pasture land' (ASI file).

- WM025-028 Church
Description
Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope, which falls toward a small stream. Kilpatrick House lies c. 145m due E. Annotated ‘Church (Site of)’ on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. Within ecclesiastical enclosure (WM025-028002-). Levelled church site described as no surface remains visible. There are three low humps at this location which may represent the grass-covered wall footings of a levelled church. Adams (1960, 33) refers to the ruins of the old chapel of Kilpatrick, near which is a well. Church site is not visible on Digital Globe aerial photography.

- WM025-028001 Graveyard
Description
Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope, which falls toward a small stream. Kilpatrick House lies c. 145m due E. Annotated Annotated ‘Kilpatrick graveyard (Disused)’ on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map and depicted as a rectangular-shaped earthwork. Site of Kilpatrick church (WM025-028----) located in centre of ecclesiastical enclosure (WM025-028002-) which may have been used as burial ground. No surface remains visible of any memorials or grave markers in area where church and graveyard is depicted on OS 6-inch maps. Graveyard described as a subrectangular-shaped area enclosed by a low earthen bank. The bank rises barely above the interior on the E, S and W sides where it is almost reduced to a scarp. It is well defined on the exterior, except where a modern field fence and drain runs NNW-SSE along the E side. There are three slight humps of unknown significance within the interior which may represent the sod covered remains of a church site (WM025-028----). Where conjoined, the bank which forms the S side of the larger enclosure (WM025-028003-), overlies the N side of the smaller enclosure. There is a slight fosse along the S side of this bank which is within the interior of the small enclosure, suggesting that the larger enclosure was constructed after the smaller one. Monument is visible as a subrectangular-shaped cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photography. See attached plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
