From T.J. Westropp, Esq., 1900

Killilagh Church.
It is an interesting structure, in good preservation, standing between two raths: one is perhaps a defaced tumulus, and stands at the west end of the church, as at Rathborney. The west gable has only a small window, and a square-topped bell-chamber; the east has a lofty pointed window-slit, with a well-built splay. A beautifully chiselled semi-circular arch leads into a later south chapel, with ogee-headed windows in each wall. The south door is pointed. A stoup turned on its side is set in the west jamb, and the two windows have square heads, and are chamfered.
