Place & story
A fund supporting one school
Samuel Lewis counted about 360 children in Killaghtee’s six public schools in 1837. One school received donations from Primate Robinson’s fund; he did not identify it by name. A separate private school taught about thirty children. The figures describe the wider parish, including Dunkineely, rather than attendance at one village school. [2]
