Donaghcumper Church, Medieval church ruins in Celbridge, Ireland

The stone structure contains a nave, chancel, and portions of a west gable with a remaining belfry rising above the walls.

Built between 1150 and 1160 during the Norman invasion, the church operated until its decline in the late 18th century.

The church name originates from Irish words 'domnach' meaning church and 'comar' meaning confluence, indicating its location near waterways.

Located 800 meters east of Celbridge town center along the R403 road, the site received restoration funding of €7,500 in 2017.

A vault beneath the side chapel contains the remains of the Alen family, who received the church through land grants in 1538.
