Kiltubrid

Kiltubrid is a civil parish in the barony of Leitrim, County Leitrim, Ireland[1]. The name of the parish Irish: Cill Tiobraid translates as "the Church of the Well", a reference to the ancient church in the townland of the same name. This building was substantially demolished during Penal times. This remaining ruins are located beside a holy well dedicated to Saint Patrick. This well was filled-in when the church was demolished, but it sprang up a short distance away. The townland of Kiltubrid was therefore the ancient centre of the parish but is no longer so. Kiltubrid GAA is the local GAA club.
