KILMOREMOY, a parish, partly in the barony of TYRERAGH, county of SLIGO, but chiefly in that of TYRAWLEY, county of MAYO, and province of CONNAUGHT, on the river Moy; containing, within the market and post-town of Ballina and the town of Ardnaree, 14,586 inhabitants.

Here is much bog, and agriculture is in a backward state.

The principal seats are Belleek Abbey, the residence of Lieut. Col. F.A. Knox Gore, a noble mansion in the later English style of architecture, erected by the proprietor at an expense of £10,000 and beautifully situated on the banks of the Moy, in a fine demesne tastefully laid out and richly planted; Belleek Castle, the handsome residence of E. Howly, Esq.; and Ardnaree Cottage, of T. Jones, Esq.

It is a vicarage, in the diocese of Killala, forming part of the union of Ardagh; the rectory is appropriate to the precentorship of Killala cathedral. The tithes amount to £472.3s.7.50d., of which £49.17s.11.50d., is payable to the precentor, and £422.5s.8d., to the vicar. There is a glebe-house, towards the erection of which the late Board of First Fruits gave £100, in 1794, and which was rebuilt by a loan of £600 and a gift of £200 from the same Board, in 1828; the glebe comprises 11 acres. The church of the union, which is in Ardnaree, was built in 1763, by aid of a gift of £300 from the late Board, which granted £1400 as a loan for its enlargement, in 1816, and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners have recently granted £573 for its repair.

The Roman Catholic parish is co-extensive with that of the Established Church, and has a handsome unfinished cathedral at Ardnaree.

Here are places of worship for Baptists and Wesleyan Methodists.

There are eight public schools, to one of which the Rev. Mr. Hueston subscribes £20 per annum, and in which about 520 children are educated; and nine private schools, in which are about 370 children.

Here are a cromlech and the remains of an ancient castle, which gives name to the village of Ardnaree, or "the king's height," and some ruins of the old church, with a burial-ground attached.
