History

In the cemetery of the Parish 'Priory' Church of Killadeas are several interesting stones, probably the most noted is known as the Bishops Stone, a carved figure. To the west of this stone is a large slab, one side of which has at least ten cup-shaped hollows, which suggest this may be a multiple bullaun stone. Near to this is a holde stone and a pillar.

Near Killadeas, on Lower Lough Erne, is Gublusk Bay which was a Royal Air Force base for Short Sunderland and PBY Catalina flying boats during World War II. Building at RAF Killadeas started in January 1941 and the first Catalinas arrived in March 1941. The site is now the home of the Lough Erne Yacht Club.

The Manor House (Hotel), a converted and extended 19th century country manor, is also situated in Killadeas. The Killadeas Estate was acquired by Captain J Irvine in 1660, and the Manor House, previously konwn as 'Rockfield' (rebuilt 1860) remained part of the Irvine Estate until 1957, when it was purchased for use as a hotel. The Manor House, which has seen many alterations to its design over the centures, was for a brief period, used as an Officer's Mess and Headquarters for the American Forces, during World War IIFurther Information
