Scene Description: Source caption: "Old church and graveyard, Kilroot [...] It is believed that there was a church on this site in the time before St Patrick. The present ruin is said to be “medieval” without any date given. There is also supposed to have been an earlier graveyard but the present one seems to date from the 18th century. Jonathan Swift [...] was Dean but the church is thought to have been in ruins even then."
