Mullagh (/ˈmʊlæ/; Irish: An Mullach, meaning 'the hilltop')[2] is a town, civil parish and townland in County Cavan, Ireland.
The town has a heritage centre dedicated to St Kilian, who was born in Mullagh c 640 and was martyred in Würzburg in Franconia in northern Bavaria, Germany, in circa 689.
The Catholic church, a Victorian neo-Gothic structure located 400m from the village on the Virginia Road (R194), is named in memory of its patron, Saint Kilian.
