Maps of the Parish

Like all place-names, the spelling of Killimer, and its townlands, has evolved over many years due to them being recorded in an anglicised fashion and also through different translations and interpretations of the Irish language. This is visible in the following maps through the ages.

Map of Thomond by John Sudbury and George Humble – 1610.[1

You can see Mollogha clearly written under those in charge at the time– Teg McMahond and Terlough McBryne

Hibernia Regnum c. 1650.

In this better proportioned map we can see Killoner and Killcarrell

Sidney Hall 1830

A slightly stranger perspective of Clare, here we can see Ballymacron, Kilmore and Burnaan. You can also clearly see Gower just at the North end of the Parish

In this map we can see Mullough for Molougha, Kilmone and a Charter school
