O'LAVERTY, (Rev.) James. Parish of Kilkeel or Upper Mourne & the Parish of St. Mary's or Lower Mourne. Dublin: James Duffy, 1878. 33 pages. [Facsimile of the entries for the parishes of Upper and Lower Mourne, taken from O'Laverty's `An Historical Account of the Diocese of Down and Connor, Ancient and Modern' (Volume I.). `The barony of Mourne is strictly identical with the civil parish of Kilkeel, which is divided into the ecclesiastical parishes of Upper Mourne and Lower Mourne. The former contains 45 and the latter 23 of the 68 townlands into which the barony is divided. The parish of Upper Mourne extends from the Causeway River, or Aghyoghill River, the the north-eastern confines of the townlands of Carrigneagh, Aughnahoory, and Kilkeel, where it adjoins Lower Mourne.' The text touches on the antiquities and local history of the area, the meaning of place names, influential families, parish priests and churches, etc].
