Kilbride (Irish: Cill Bhríde)[1] is a civil parish and townlands in the barony of Middlethird in County Waterford, Ireland. Kilbride is located between Tramore and Waterford. There are two townlands with this name: Kilbride North[2] and Kilbride South.[3]
Kilbride got its name from an old church in Kilbride South (52°11′24″N 7°09′51″W / 52.18993°N 7.16424°W) that was named after St Brigid, possibly Brigit of Kildare, daughter of Dubhtach, whose feast day was 1 February, but associated with her contemporary St Briga, daughter of Congall, whose feast day is 21 January. She is also with Oughter Ard, Ardclough, Straffan, County Kildare and Brideschurch near Sallins.[citation needed] Neighbouring townlands include Monmahouge, Cullencastle, Butlerstown, Knockeen, and Carriglong.[citation needed]
Historical sites in the area include a dolmen in Knockeen, and a stone circle (fairy ring) in Carriglong.[citation needed]
