Hi folks,

I'm looking into Aderrig church and graveyard just outside Celbridge.
Using Google earth shows lots of field marks leading to the church,
But also looks like there was a much bigger complex on this site.

Does anyone have any good info about the place?
I'm mostly interested in the oldest information regarding the size and layout.

Thanks.
