Kilballyowen (Irish: Cill Bhaile Eoghain)[1] is the name of both a civil parish and a townland within that parish in County Clare, Ireland. The name is also occasionally used for the slightly larger Catholic parish of Cross.[2]
Kilballowen parish is located at the end of the Loop Head Peninsula which extends into the Atlantic Ocean to the north of the Shannon Estuary. The parish contains the villages of Cross and Kilbaha. On the first edition Ordnance Survey of Ireland map of 1840, other settlements in the parish such as Ross, Trusklieve and Tullig were marked as villages, but depopulation during and after the Great Famine have rendered these settlements relatively insignificant today.
