- Kyle is a townland in the parish of Clonaslee. It contains about seven acres. Though it is small it has some interesting history.The ground was owned by a man named Lord Peterson. There was a chapel and a graveyard there long ago.Kyle got its name from the Irish Cill or chapel. There was a grave there with a large flat stone on which writing was cut.
