[Kilglass]
"It is said that this name is derived from a saint named Molaush or Mallass who was abbot of a monastery of friars of the order of St Augustine, said to have been where the old church of Kilglass now stands, and that the said old church previous to its being used for Protestant purposes was a chapel to the monastery, and that it is here that Abbot Mollass afterwards called St Mollass was buried. Hence it was called Killmollass or Mollasses Grave and that, from a corruption of the terms, it was named Kilglass" [Desc. Rem.];

It is said that this name is derived from a saint named Molaush or Mallass who was abbot of a monastery of friars of the order of St Augustine, said to have been where the old church of Kilglass now stands, and that the said old church previous to its being used for Protestant purposes was a chapel to the monastery, and that it is here that Abbot Mollass afterwards called St Mollass was buried. Hence it was called Killmollass or Mollasses Grave and that, from a corruption of the terms, it was named Kilglass
