Carrigaholt is a parish in County Clare, Ireland, and part of the Cois Fharraige grouping of parishes within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Killaloe.

In the time of Father Michael Meehan (1810-1878) Loop Head formed just one parish under the name of "Moyarta and Kilballyowen".

In 1878 it was split into the parishes of Cross (western part of the peninsula) and Carrigaholt (eastern part of the peninsula).

The site for this church was donated by the local landlord Francis N. Burton.

According to Westropp the church ruins in Kilcredaun are from the 10th/11th century.
