Church in Killooly, County Offaly

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

Unlocated church within the townland of Killooly that is mentioned in the nineteenth century OS letters, which may be a mistake for a church called Kill hUailleach [Killooly] in Co. Westmeath (O'Flanagan 1927, vol. II, 48). According to local tradition this church may have been located near to Killooly Hall (Shaw Rev. 1971, 64-5). The church referred to in the OS letters is to a church in Co. Westmeath, possible that there was never a church located in the townland of Killooly.
