Kilnaleck is a quaint
village in South West Cavan about 12km from the Longford border. The
village is being developed as a centre of excellence for angling
with nearby Corglass Lake and Kill Lake providing good bank coarse
fishing. Overall Kilnaleck is an ideal base for exploring the
midlands and lakeland areas of Ireland
There are several good examples of prehistoric remains close to the
village. At Carrickacroy, there is a cromlech, a portal tomb which
dates from at least 2000 BC. This consisted originally of a burial
chamber, entered by a door. One of the supporting jambs of the door
is still standing, but most of the other stones have fallen.
Nearby Ballintemple also shows evidence of a late Iron Age rath or
fort. Also nearby are the remains of Crosserlough church, which was
originally built in the later Middle Ages. Crosserlough Catholic
church, opened in 1888, was built to a design by William Hague Jnr. |
