Place & story
Two places of worship in the parish
Samuel Lewis described Killaspuglonane, under the spelling Killaspuglenane, in 1837. He recorded a plain Catholic chapel at Cahirgal, within the ecclesiastical district of Liscannor. Separately, he noted that remains of the old parish church still existed; he did not give their age or identify the chapel as occupying the same site. His account also places the parish in the Protestant union of Kilmanaheen, in the diocese of Kilfenora. The surrounding land was predominantly rough mountain pasture, while Moymore was named as the residence of a member of the Stackpoole family whose first name Lewis did not supply. [2]
