What is recorded here

Kildalton is an Irish word for the church of Ailton, a name that still belongs to the townland. The holy well beside it may have been the reason the church took that name, or the church may have taken the name first and the well followed. Either way, water and prayer shared one address long before anyone wrote it down.
