What is recorded here
Kyletilloge, likely Cill tSillog meaning the Church of St. Sillan, contained a graveyard on the highest point of House Meadow. A large funeral marked an interment there about 130 or 150 years ago, but the graveyard was soon destroyed without leaving a visible trace. The land may have swallowed the church, the graves and the memory of St. Sillan, leaving only the name to mark the loss.
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.
