    Topography of Killaloe Parishes Reverend Philip Dwyer, A.B., • Bindon Street, Ennis, March 23, 1878 The parishes are taken in the order in which they stand under the several rural deaneries, as set forth in the Regal Visitation of 1622, and the particulars to which attention is directed appear in the following order throughout, viz. : — 1°. The name or names of the parish. 2°. The meaning or etymology of the name, as given by some competent authority in Irish literature. 3°. The size, with the actual and relative situation of the parish in each case. 4°. The ecclesiastical and other principal ancient remains and documents ; also brief notes of men of mark, old families, natural curiosities, or any historical incidents of importance connected with the parish ; also the inscriptions on old church plate. I. The Rural Deanery O’Mullod. This is the same as the territory or cantred of O'Mullod, so called from “M‘Blod, the son of Cas.” KILLALOE PARISH. The name is usually interpreted as Kill-da-lua,orKill-O’Mollua, from a famous saint of the 6th century, who is believed to have fllourished here. (Lanigan, quoted at Clonfert-Mollua, infra.) The parish is situated on the western side of the Shannon, in size 13,045 acres ; and is bounded on the north by the parish of Ogonello and Kilno ; on the west by that of Killokennedy ; on the south by Kiltenanlea ; and on the east by the Shannon, which separates it from the county of Tipperary. The ecclesiastical remains are the cathedral, and the stone-roofed oratory, or duirthrach,tothe north of it, which is not unlike Saint ColumKille’s house at Kells, or Kevin’s kitchen at Glendalough.

    Banner Rocks The Geological Heritage of County Clare Matthew Parkes Banner Rocks The geological heritage of County Clare By Matthew Parkes PUBLISHED BY CLARE COUNTY COUNCIL ARAS AN CHONTAE CLAIR NEW ROAD, ENNIS, CO. CLARE This book is a visual exploration of the geological heritage of County Clare. Using data gathered during a 2005 audit of 44 sites of geological and landscape importance in County Clare, it presents some of the superb geology exhibited in these special places, and briefly explains the stories told by the rocks. It provides a record of sites of importance, but is not a guidebook to visit them, as many are not accessible, on private land. Acknowledgements Congella McGuire, Heritage Officer with Clare County Council, is thanked for steering this project to a conclusion. Dr Eamon Doyle, Geologist with the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO endorsed Geopark is thanked for his valuable and varied input to the book. Dr Sarah Gatley of the Geological Heritage and Planning Programme of the Geological Survey of Ireland provided great help.
