What is recorded here

Unlocated graveyard within townland that is described by Carrigan as 'There was a churchyard here in Mr. Fred Prior's 'House Meadow'. It occupied the highest point of the field. There was an interment here, accompanied by a large funeral, about 130 or 150 years ago. Soon after that the graveyard was completely destroyed, and not a trace of it is now apparent. The Irish form of Kyletilloge is very probably Cill tSillog that is, the Church of St. Sillan or Silloge.
