KILLIMORE-DALY, a parish, partly in the barony of ATHENRY, partly in that of TYAQUIN, but chiefly in that of KILCONNELL, county of GALWAY, and province of CONNAUGHT, 4½ miles from Athenry, on the road from that place to Kilconnell ; containing 1945 inhabitants, and 6181 statute acres.

The principal seats are Killimor Castle, formerly the seat of the Daly family, but now the residence of Hyacinth Burke, Esq. ; Cloncah, of P. Daly, Esq. ; and Anne Ville, of the Rev. J. Seymore.

It is a vicarage, in the diocese of Clonfert, forming part of the union of Aughrim ; the rectory is appropriate to the see and deanery of Clonfert, and to the vicarage.
