    (Introduction)
    Cill is in the barony of North Salt, County of Kildare.
    It got its name from a church built here in the fifth century by St. Corban.
    Nine of the Leinster Kings are buried here.
    On the slope of Oughterard hill a mile and a half outside the village O'Connell fought the duel with D’Esterre.
    The Burnt Furze, a place two miles south of Cill, got its name from the burning of Nuns who sought shelter there, by Cromwell's army.
