In the townland of Ballygargan, Knocknamuckley church was constituted as a perpetual curacy on the 27th October 1837 out of the existing parishes of Seagoe and Tullylish. It opened for worship in 1853. Initially only the nave was built, the chancel and organ chamber being added in 1912. A small porch was replaced by a larger structure in 1987 to mark the 150th anniversary of the parish. Knocknamuckley has no stained glass. This parish, whose name in Irish is Cnoc-na-muice-laith signifies the Hill of the Grey Pig.
