"Pinkman: Cill-Fhearga = Ferga’s church. “Fionnchadh, easpog Cille Forga i mBreifne.” (Martyrology Donegal, Nov. 12th). “O’Trebair (Travers) Erenagh of C. Fearga” Annals. Con.51a “Another hosting was made by O’Donnell into Connaught. He crossed the Erne and marched unti he arrived at Ros-Inbhir. From thence he went to Cill-Fhearga.” Four Masters AD, 1595. See Fiant 5440- Eliz. O’Donovan states in his Letters that the ruins of an old church were in Killarga townland, that there was a holy well there, called St. Mary’s Well, and that there was stone cross about four feet high near this well.

"LSO: Killargy Parish is called Cill-Fhearga. This Kill-Fearga is mentioned at the year 1593 by the Four Masters. In Killargy Townland are the ruins of an old Church. There is also a well in it called Tobar Muire, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Near it stands a stone Cross about four feet high. I could not learn who the Patron Saint is. I should think that from the name of the well the Patron Day of the Parish must have been Lady’s Day.” 134/264-5 "
