Churches
There are two churches in the parish.
The main church is St. Mary's Church in Kilmurry McMahon. It was built as a chapel in 1803 and later extended to a cruciform church.[4]
The second church of the parish is St. Ciarán's church in Labasheeda. This church was built in 1976 and dedicated in 1977 by bishop Harty. It replaced an older cruciform church on the other side of the road. This church, now a community centre, was built in the mid 1830s.[5]
