Illaunakilla is one of a group of islands near Templenoe that are collectively known as the Greenane Islands. The OSNB recorded an old burial ground here 'not used these three hundred years', and a second island, Carraig a tSagairt, situated NE of Illaunakilla, where priests used to 'celebrate mass in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries' (Templeno, 37). It was not possible to visit the island and the site is not remembered locally
