 | | GARVAGH, a market and post-town, in the parish of ERRIGAL, barony of COLERAINE, county of Londonderry, and province of ULSTER, 8 miles (S.) from Coleraine, and 11O½ (N. by W.) from Dublin, on the road from Armagh to Coleraine: the population is returned with the parish. |
 | | After keeping possession of it for some time, he was attacked by a party of forces commanded by Sir Phelim O‘Nial who, making themselves masters of the place, put the Colonel and many of the inhabitants to death, burnt the town, and plundered the country to the very gates of Coleraine. |
 | | Adjoining the town is the parish church, a small neat edifice; and there is a meeting-house for Presbyterians in connection with the Synod of Ulster, of the second class, built in 1746, rebuilt in 1790, and enlarged in 1830; another in connection with the Seceding Synod, and a third for Separatists from that synod. |
