Church in Glenmagoo OR Firoda Lower

Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 161), referring to the townland Firoda Lower, otherwise Glenmagoo, states that, ‘Among the sub-divisions of “Glanmoygowe alias Moygowe,” given in a document of 1621, is mentioned “Killine-Muygowgh,” that is, the Killeen, or Little Church, of Moygowe. It is evident from this that an ancient church stood in the townland. No trace of such now remains, however; nor is there any tradition as to its whereabouts’. The precise location of the church within the townland is unknown. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 17 May 2017
