The OS Letters (1838, 224 (95)) record that 'In the Townland of Kilmacduagh also in Kilmainebeg there is a graveyard in which a small old church dedicated to Saint Mac Duach had stood, and which gave name to the townland'. A rectangular walled area, accessed at the SE corner by a road, is indicated as 'Old Grave Yard' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.
