Pigot's Directory of Ireland - 1824 - killenaule


Killenaule Is a small post town in the county of Tipperary, distant 72 miles and a half south-west of Dublin, 5 and three-quarters north of Fethard, 12 and a half north by east of Clonmel, and situate mid-way between Callen and Cashel. Nothing can exceed the beauty of the surrounding country, which is in a high state of cultivation, and thickly interspersed with the seats of an opulent gentry. In the vicinity several extensive collieries are at work, the property of Ambrose GOING of Bally-Philip, Fergus LANGLEY of Lickfin, and Charles LANGLEY of Colebrook, Esqrs. The parish church, a plain ancient building, is so inconveniently small, that it is intended shortly to erect another. There are also one Catholic chapel, and a dispensary, which was founded in 1813, and is supported by private subscriptions and county presentments, which are in general double the amount of the subscriptions. A petty sessions court is held every Wednesday for the recovery of small debts, and the despatch of other business. Within two miles of Killenaule are the ruins of Greatown Castle, and about a mile from it the ruins of another. A fair is held on the 13th of May, and another on the 14th of October.
