Antiquitiesedit
Killaspuglonane parish contained a ruined church dedicated to Saint Flannán, the first bishop of Killaloe. As of 2022[update] only a cemetery is left. A holy well dedicated to Saint Flannán is a little to the southwest of the old church. There was a castle in the townland of Tullamore that was the property of Sir Daniel O’Brien, of Dough.[3]
The MacCurtin family, who owned the townlands of Carrowduff in Killaspuglonane and Laghvally in Kilmacrechy, were noted for their scholarship. The Annals of the Four Masters records the deaths of Kelloch MacCurtin, chief historian of Thomond (1376), Gilla Duivin MacCurtin, ollav of Thomond in music (1404), Sencha MacCurtin, ollav of Thomond in history and generally skilled in the arts of poetry and music (1435) and Geanann MacCurtin, intended ollav of Thomond in history (1436).[3]
