Kinneigh parish is the area around the twin towns of Enniskean and
Ballineen, about 10 or 15 miles west of Bandon. The Church of Ireland has a
website for the "Kinneigh Union" of 4 parishes. There are some photos of the
churches in the website. The Round Tower shown there is very close to
Ardkilleen, which is about 2 miles north of Ballineen.
