Description:
Kilmoleran (Cill Mo Ailearáin) is the name of the parish only, and perhaps at no time did it designate a townland. It signifies - “Church of My Aileran� (otherwise Aireran). Aileran, called the Wise, is commemorated on December 29th. Site of the ancient parish church, as well as existing remains of the old Friary, are on Carrickbeg townland. The present parish church occupies the site of the Friary, while the neglected cemetery of Reilig na Muc indicates the position of Kilmoleran Church. Kilmoleran Parish contains, in all, only four townlands.
