Why this matters

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.

What is recorded here

The parish church of Killummod, listed as Killaunach in the ecclesiastical taxation of Elphin in 1306 (Cal. doc. Ire., vol. 5, 224), is described as ruined in the 1650s (Simmington 1949, 156) and in the 1830s (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 157). Situated on a level shelf. Nothing remains of a church within an irregularly shaped graveyard (RO011-106002-) (max. dims 50m N-S; 40m E-W) defined by masonry walls. Enclosure (RO011-105----) is c. 70m to the NNE.
