According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 328-9), 'Kilcoran is called in Irish Kyle-coorawin (Cill-Cobhráin), that is St. Cobhran's Church. It is a sub-division of Newtown (Baker). There is no tradition of any church having been ever in Kilcoran townland. Human bones have, however, been uprooted here immediately outside the haggard, to the rere of Kilcoran House; and on this spot, it may be presumed, stood the ancient church of St. Cobhran'. Though reputedly in the vicinity of Kilcoran House, the precise location of these burials (KK027-052002-) and possible church is unknown.
