In a river valley, c. 80m E of a meandering stream called the Craosóg (O’Kelly 1969, 192). The OS Letters (1839) mention, ‘a large and much frequented burying ground here’ (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 55-6 (19)). According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 321), the ancient parish of Tullamaine, consisting of Tullamaine and Knockrea townlands, was united to the Rectory of Callan before 1300 and the parish church, ‘dedicated to St. Catherine, Virgin and Martyr, (Nov. 25th), stood on the breast of the fertile rising ground of Tullamaine, where it slopes to the south-west. Every vestige of it has disappeared’. The church is not indicated on the 1st (1839) or revised 1899-1900 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is likely that the church was located within or close to the graveyard (KK022-027002-) indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 May 2021
