Churches include St. Marys Catholic Church (Ennybegs), St. Olivers Catholic Church (Cullyfad), and St. Catherines Church of Ireland (Killoe Glebe). The civil parish of Killoe was historically covered by two baronies, Granard and Longford, included a minimum of 91 townlands, and had an area of 16780 ha.
