Cill Atha, 'cell or church of the ford'
Is pronounced by the natives when speaking Irish as if written Cill Atha, which means in English Cell or Church of the Ford. … this church stands in a large graveyard now much in use as a cemetery. ... About half a furlong to the South of this old church on a rising ground, at the North side of the mountain of Crochan-Glen-Flesk, stands O’Donohoe’s Castle of Killaha. The fifth day of February was formerly kept holy in this Parish in honour of the Patron Saint whose name is now forgotton.
