History:
The name Kilworth comes from Irish "Cill Úird", which means "church of the order". In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Kilworth was a notable settlement on the old Dublin to Cork City road, prior to the construction of the old N8/R639 road from Fermoy to Cashel, County Tipperary and from Cashel to Urlingford between 1739 and the middle of the nineteenth century. Numerous accounts and maps dating from the 1680s tell of armies and travellers travelling from Fermoy to Clogheen on towards Dublin passing through Kilworth and the Kilworth Mountains.
