    Kille is my townland. It is in the parish and barony of Kilmaine. "Kille" means a church. St. Patrick built a church here when he first came to Kilmaine parish. There is a run of an old Abbey here still. It is said that the Saint founded a Covenant here and left the two sisters of Bishop Felartus here. The Saint left the Bishop in Donaghpatrick between Shrule and Headford.
    There is an old graveyard in this townland also.
