Can
anybody fill me in on the History of this historic place ? |
The name Kilbonane is derived from Cill and Benan, or Benignus in Latin, a saint's name. St. Benan was the successor of St. Patrick in the See of Armagh. There was another church dedicated to this saint in Dumnanway parish, west of Kilcaskan. This Church is late medieval in style. It was reported to be in ruin in 1615, but was in use again by 1639 |
