In 1868, the parish of Kilglass contained the following places:"KILGLASS, a parish in the barony of Tireragh, county Sligo, province of Connaught, Ireland, 5 miles S.W. of Easky. Ballina is its post town. The parish is 4 miles long by 3 broad, and includes part of Lough Scarrow. The surface is hilly, extending along the W. side of Killala Bay. There is some bog, but the greater part is good pasture and arable lands. Several small streams intersect the interior and fall into the bay. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Killala, value with Castleconnor, £372, in the patronage of the bishop. The church was built in 1830, principally by means of a gift from the late Board of First Fruits. The Roman Catholic chapel is united to that of Castleconnor. There are nine day schools. Kinneard, Kilglass, and Oghill are the principal residences."
