    Mheas Ó Corragáin gurbh ionann an baile fearainn seo agus 1660 ‘Killaterry’ BSD, 1666 ‘Killasery’ ASE (< Coill an tSearraigh “the wood of the foal”?), cuid de shealbhas talún a baineadh de Phádraig Mac Fhinín (Mac Giolla Phádraig) in 1653: ‘Cappanarra, Cloninlurkan, Killaterry and Lackeymore … The old name of Mounthall is forgotten, but there can be no doubt that it was Killaterry, and that it represents the original name of Mounthall churchyard’ (History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory II 151).
