History & geography

History

The village's English name, Kilmore, derives from the Irish An Chill Mhór, meaning "big church". Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes a number of ringfort sites in the surrounding townlands of Sarshill, Lannagh and Rickardstown. An ecclesiastical enclosure, in the townland of Grange, contains the former parish church of Kilmore. The existing church within the village, St. Mary's Roman Catholic church, dates to 1802. The Kilmore Carols, a tradition of carol singing at St. Mary's RC Church in Kilmore, has taken place at Christmas time since the 1750s. In all, there are thirteen carols, eight of which are sung during the Christmas period, the first at first Mass on Christmas Day and the last one on Sunday nearest Twelfth Day.
