- The Parish of Ballyclerihan formed at one time part of the groups of the Deanery of Cashel and a large Townland of the same name was part of the property of the See of Cashel. "Ballyclerihan and part of Killock." The other part of Killock was the "Glebe" which by right belonged to the Rector.
The name Killock probably meant "Church Hill," therefore the hilly part near the Church was "The Glebe."
The Old Church of Clerihan (where my ancestors of 3 centuries past have been buried) was built on a slight rising ground. There remains now only the western gable; it is in almost perfect condition, but there is hardly any of the other walls remaining.
