A datestone with the inscription 'Anno Dom 1627 N H' was taken from the levelled seventeenth century fortified house (OF036-035002-) and bawn (OF036-035001-) known as Killyon Manor and was inserted into the SE corner of the parish hall in the village of Rath. According to O' Flanagan (1933, vol. 2, 19) St. Ciaran of Saiger founded a nunnery at Killiadhuin [Killyon] in the fifth century. A seventeenth century fortified house and bawn is locally believed to have been built on the site of this nunnery. Cooke (1875, 178) described Killyon Castle as having a large square shaped gatehouse which opened onto a courtyard with small round flanking towers with gun loops visible. According to Cooke (1875, 182) the site of Killyon manor was occupied by a person named Herbert (Harbart) in 1634.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
