History
The church at Carrickatee dates from 1896, replacing an earlier church which dated from the late 1700s or early 1800s. It stands in the parish of Aughnamullen East, a rural parish surrounding Lough Egish between Castleblayney and Ballybay. Until the early 1800s the parish formed part of the ancient parish of Aughnamullen, together with Latton and Bawn, and before 1530 it belonged to a wider territory called Cremorne.
The parish description records the church as reputedly the highest above sea level in the diocese.
