descriptions from Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837
KILLIANE, a parish, in the barony of FORTH, county of WEXFORD, and province of LEINSTER, 2¾ miles (S. S. E.) from Wexford town, on the road from that place to Rosslare ; containing 260 inhabitants.
It comprises
1064 statute acres, which are partly under tillage, but chiefly in pasture
: the soil is good, and well cultivated, and there is abundance of limestone
and marl.
Killiane Castle, the property of Vigors Harvey, Esq., is on the shore of Wexford haven, of which it commands a pleasing view.
The parish is in the diocese of Ferns, and is an impropriate curacy, forming part of the union of Killinick ; the rectory is impropriate to the Earl of Portsmouth. The tithes amount to £68. 11s. 5d., of which £17. 10s. 4d., is payable to the impropriator, and £51. 1s. 1d., to the curate.
In the Roman
Catholic divisions it forms part of the union or district of
Piercestown. About 40 children are educated in a private school. The
church is in ruins, and there are also the remains of a chapel, with a small
burial-ground attached, near Killiane Castle, supposed to have been
the cemetery of its ancient proprietors.
