Church in Kilmore (lisronagh Par.)

Ó Cearbhaill (2007, 174) associates this Kilmore with the 'Kilmororussia' mentioned in the Papal Chancery documents of 1260, 'Kilmor O Russythe' in the Papal Taxation records of c. 1306, and 'Kilmore Crussyn' in the Irish monastic and episcopal deeds of 1370-90 and 'Kilmore' in the latters' deeds of 1551 and 1570. According to Power (1907, 310), within Kilmore townland 'the early church site was found, after a long search, near the eastern extremity of the townland where the boundary is bisected by the main Clonmel to Thorny Bridge road'. This church is unlocated within the townland. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The church at Kilmore (Lisronagh parish) was likely founded by a local Gaelic ecclesiastical community in the early medieval period, with written references dating from the late 13th and early 14th centuries. It appears to have been dedicated to St. Molaise, as was common in many Kilmore sites, and reflects the continuity of early Christian tradition in the region.
