Killavullen (Irish: Cill an Mhuilinn, meaning "the Church of the Mill") is a village in North Cork on the river Blackwater, County Cork, Ireland.[1][2] The village is located just south of the N72 road, is 10 km (6.2 mi) east of Mallow and 32 km (20 mi) north of Cork city. The census of 2002 put the population at 224. The parish of Killavullen & Annakissa contains close to 1500 people.
