Site of Killonahan Church — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Killonahan Church stood in County Limerick from at least 1201 until its destruction in 1641, named for St. Onchu and marked by a dry well of St. Senan. By 1840 only nine feet of coarse north wall remained, but that fragment proved the parish existed long before records vanished. A man might have knelt beside that well, asked for clarity, and left behind no name at all.

Westropp recorded the following details about Killonahan; 'A parish in Pubblebrian and Coshmagh. Kellonchon, 1201, 1204. Geffry de Mareys did homage to Bishop Hubert for Killonethon, c. 1223 ; Killonwyn, 1302 ; Kyllonchan, 1418; Killanahan, 1615b; Killonahama, Killonaghinmore, and Killeonahanna, 1657 (D.S.(B.), 21, 25; Civil Survey, pp. 14, 15; Petty, 69), Cilanacam, from St. Onchu, Feb. 8th (O'Donovan); the church was destroyed in 1641.
