KILLALA (pron. Killklla)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 795 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KILLALA (pron. Killklla) , a small town on the north
coast
  of county Mayo, Ireland, in the northern parliamentary division, on the western shore of a fine bay to which it gives name. Pop. (1901), 510. It is a terminus of a branch of the Midland
Great
  Western railway. Its trade is almost wholly diverted to Ballina on the river Moy, which enters the bay, but Killala is of high antiquarian and historical
interest
 . It was for many centuries a
bishop
 's see, the foundation being attributed to St
Patrick
  in the 5th century, but the diocese was joined with Achonry early in the 17th century and with Tuam in 1833. The
cathedral
  church of St
Patrick
  is a plain structure of the 17th century. There is a fine souterrain, evidently connected with a
rath
 , or encampment, in the graveyard. A round tower, 84 ft. in height, stands boldly on an isolated
eminence
 . Close to Killala the French under
Humbert
  landed in 1798, being diverted by contrary winds from the Donegal
coast
 . Near the Moy river,
south
  of Killala, are the abbeys of Moyne and Roserk or Rosserick, both Decorated in style, and both possessing fine cloisters. At Rathfran, 2 M. N., is a Dominican abbey (1274), and in the neighbourhood are camps, cromlechs, and an inscribed ogham stone, 12 ft. in height. Killala gives name to a Roman Catholic diocese, the seat of which, however, is at Ballina.
