Tá an choill úd suite ar chnoc (120m) i dtuaisceart bf Baile Briotáis (#28286) agus is cosúil gurbh í a thug ainm don áit seo.

Killinard
The modern Catholic church of the district is at Killinard, where a fine edifice replaced an humbler building some fifty years ago. In the burial-ground adjoining, a former Pastor lies interred, and over his grave appears the following inscription, '...Died 1804'; Within the church, there is a mural table over the grave of Rev. John Dunne, of whom it states that: 'he was ordained in 1806 ... was P.P. of Kilcock and subsequently of Killinard and Emo. died 1832'.
