Killeenagarriff
Killeenagarriff (Irish: Cill Mhic Con Ghairbh, meaning 'church of the son of Cú Garbh')[1] is a civil parish in the historical barony of Clanwilliam in County Limerick, Ireland.[2][3] Settlements in Killeenagarriff include the town of Annacotty,[4] and population centres at Ahane and Barringtonsbridge.[5]
The Roman Catholic church at Ahane, built in the mid-1830s and dedicated to Saint Patrick,[6] was described in Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland (1837) as a "large new chapel".[7] Its construction is reputed to contain a doorcase "reclaimed" from the ruins of Quin Abbey in neighbouring County Clare.[6][8] Thornfield House, also in Ahane and dating from at least the early 19th century, was the home of General Richard Bourke,[7][9] who retired there after a term as Governor of New South Wales in Australia.[10]
Barringtonsbridge, which spans into the neighbouring parish of Clonkeen, is a small settlement which developed near a metal bridge.[11] This metal bridge was built, by the Barrington family,[9][12] in the early 19th century over the Killeengarriff River.[13]
Killeenagarriff Church, a small ruined medieval church in Killeenagarriff townland,[9] is sited in a churchyard which is bounded by the Killeengarriff River.[14] The Killeenagarriff River later joins the Mulkear River.[15]
