121 Near the place marked by Cross is said by the authorities to have been the site of the old Church or Chapel of Kilbride. No trace of it now remains altho [although] the field is known in the neighbourhood as the "Chapel Field."
It appears that before the Reformation there were four Churches and Chapels within the bounds of the present parish, which were dedicated respectively to Brenan or Brandon, Cattan, Bride or Bridget and Coan The places where these Churches once stood and the ruins of some of them to be seen are called Kilbrandon, Kilchattan, Kilbride and Kilchoan. When these four churches or parishes were united, the last two names were dropped whilst the other two are still retained.
