According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 23 (65)), 'This Parish (Kill) is under the patronage of Saint Bridget, whose church 'Cill Brighde' (Cella S. Brigidae) from which the parish took its denomination, stood either on the site of, or near the Protestant Church …'. Bradley et al (1986 vol. 3, 296-8) agree that St John's Church is the most likely location for the possible early monastic foundation, of which no visible surface trace survived, apart from a long, sweeping bend in the road, to SW, W and N of the church, which may reflect the line of a former early ecclesiastical enclosure. In 1993, pre-development archaeological test-trenching (Licence no. 93E0059) in this area led to further testing in 1996 (Licence no. 96E079) and the discovery of portion of the enclosing fosse of a probable ecclesiastical enclosure (KD019-008007-). However, the precise locations of an associated church or subsequent Anglo-Norman church (KD019-008006-) are unknown, but a late medieval font (KD019-008005-) lies outside the N door of the 19th century Protestant church.
