XVI. The Kvmes in the Survey. — In compiling the survey, 

 questions often arose as to what names should be admitted. Most 

 were obviously^actual church-names; but among the rest it was hardly 

 possible, in all cases, to have avoided such errors as giving separately 

 a church named in an ancient record, and" its site disguised under 

 a later name. There was also a risk of wrong identifications, but all 

 are marked doubtful that seem merely probable. I also fear that 

 a few of the "kill" names may be woods (coill), not churches. 

 Peyton's Survey " warns us against this danger by giving long lists 

 of apparent church -names annotated boscis et subboscis.^ To 

 obviate this danger, I have, as much as possible, given only "kill " 

 names at which a church-site is recorded, or a graveyard exists.^ 

 Again, a "coill" name, like Kilbeheney (Coill beicne in 1502), is 

 sometimes a church as well as a wood, for confusions between the two 

 words arose even in the Middle Ages, as the records abundantly show. 

 The descriptions of the churclies are based on the Ordnance Survey 

 Letters, but are, as far as possible, corrected and supplemented. 



^ The prioress of Teaglimolynd, in l-ilS, held the churches of Iwyrgear and 

 '^rygydy (Tax. Proc).

^ Occasionally an unequivocal name, like Cellcrumterlapain, Glennahaglish, or 

 Kiltempl e, is admitted, though not named as a church in the records, or displaying 

 any trace of the building.
