In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Kilphelan like this:
KILWHELAN, or KILPHELAN, a parish, in the barony of CONDONS and CLONGIBBONS, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 1 ½ mile (S.) from Mitchelstown, near the road to Kilworth; containing 343 inhabitants. For all civil and ecclesiastical purposes it has merged into the parish of Brigown. It is a rectory, in the diocese of Cloyne, entirely impropriate in Wm. Norcott, Esq. In the R. C. divisions it forms part of the union or district of Mitchelstown.
