"Pinkman: Ceann-locha = Head or hill of the lake (Melvin). “St. Siadhal Uá Chommain, Abbot of Ceann-locha died.” Four Masters, Ad 794. “Siadhail Cinn Locha” Martyrology of Tallaght. The Feast of this Saint was kept on the 8th of March. Although it is not quite certain, yet it is highly probably, that the Ceann-loch referred to here, is now Kinlough at the west corner of Lough Melvin. In the centre of Kinlough townland there are the ruins of an old church and a graveyard attached. "
