The building itself vanished long ago, leaving only what a 1934 survey described as a low mound on the north side of a ringfort, covering about thirty square yards and rising no more than a foot from the ground. Then the ringfort, a type of circular earthwork enclosure common across early medieval Ireland, was levelled too. Today there is no surface trace of either.

The place was known locally as Kilpadder or Kilfaud, both renderings of the Irish Cill Phadraigh, meaning Patrick's church. When Bowman recorded the site in 1934, the low mound was still just about legible in the landscape, sitting inside the earthen ring of Kilpatrick ringfort. The pairing of a small church with a ringfort is not unusual for early medieval Ireland; ecclesiastical foundations were frequently established within or immediately adjacent to existing enclosures, borrowing their boundaries for shelter and definition. A separate burial ground was recorded inside another ringfort roughly a hundred metres to the east, though local tradition had preserved no memory of any church being connected to it.

What remains is essentially a place-name carrying more information than the ground does. The survival of Cill Phadraigh in local speech, even in anglicised form, long outlasted the physical structures it once described. By the time anyone thought to measure the mound, there was already nothing left to see but a slight rise in a field, and that too is now gone.
