In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Killeeneen like this:
KILLINEEN, or KILLINAN, a parish, partly in the barony of LOUGHREA, but chiefly in that of DUNKELLIN, county of GALWAY, and province of CONNAUGHT, 2 ½ miles (W.) from Craughwell, on the road to Oranrnore; containing 1449 inhabitants. It comprises 4374 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act; and is a vicarage, in the diocese of Kilmacduagh, forming part of the union of Kilcolgan; the rectory is partly appropriate to the see and partly to the archdeaconry. ...
The tithes amount to £134, of which £26 is payable to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, £63 to the archdeacon, and £35 to the vicar. About 40 children are educated in a private school.
