The Church in Killummod, known as Killaunach in the 1306 Elphin taxation records, was likely built in the early medieval period, reflecting a typical Irish parish church of that era. It is significant as a recorded site of ecclesiastical activity in the medieval Diocese of Elphin, though its specific builder and dedication remain unrecorded.
