KILLOUGHTER, a parish, in the barony of TULLAGHGARVEY, county of CAVAN, and province of ULSTER, 6 miles (N. N. E.) from Belturbet, on the road from that place to Cootehill; containing 6130 inhabitants. It comprises 7633 statute acres of arable and pasture land, except about 250 acres of waste and bog. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the diocese of Kilmore, formed out of the parish of Annagh in 1813, and in the gift of the Incumbent of that parish: the tithes amount to £14, and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners have granted an augmentation of £20 per annum. The church is a neat plain building, with a square tower. The glebehouse was built by aid of a gift of £450 and a loan of £50 from the late Board of First Fruits, in 1822, and has a glebe of 16a. 3r. The R. C. parish is coextensive with that of the Established Church, and has a chapel at Red Hill. There is a meeting-house for Primitive Methodists. About 25 children are educated in the parochial school, and 460 in ten private schools.
