Church in Kilmagar

According to Carrigan (1905, 359), 'the saint's church in Kilmogar stood to the west of the public road from Clara to Johnswell, in a field called Gorrynahoa. Its site is still pointed out on the top of a gentle rise about the middle of the field. This church, which mush have been a building of the earliest times, disappeared ages ago, and nothing now marks the spot but some slight trenches and mounds'. The precise location of this monument within the townland is unknown. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 14 March 2016

The church in Kilmagar was likely built in the early medieval period, dedicated to a local saint, and reflects the typical rural church sites of Ireland during the Gaelic Christian era. Its location on a rise suggests a strategic or ceremonial significance, though specific builders or dedications are not recorded.
