What is recorded here

Kilnaseer means the Church of the Masons or Carpenters, and that identity still owns the field despite the complete loss of its building. The graveyard remains only as a small untilled plot beneath an aged ash, marked by absence rather than stone. People may have buried their dead there before memory faded, but no interments have taken place for so long that the site has become Kylebeg, the little church, a name small enough to fit what is left.

Unlocated graveyard within townland that is described by Carrigan as 'The name signifies the Church of the Masons or Carpenters. The church, which served for a detached portion of the old parish of Aghaboe, stood in the 'Churchyard Field' of Kylenaseer, to the left of the road from Carrick Rock to Carrick Mill. No trace whatever of it now remains, but the site is marked by a small untilled plot, underneath an aged ash, in the centre of the field. Its present name is Kylebeg, or the little church. No interments have taken place here time out of mind' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 62). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007

A medieval Christian graveyard; significance relates to its possible connection with the historic parish of Aghaboe and the vocation-based naming tradition of early churches.
