Parish in Munster, Ireland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ogonnelloe (Irish: Tuath Ó gConaíle, meaning 'Land of the Connollys') is a civil parish in east County Clare, Ireland, situated on the R463 regional road between Scariff and Killaloe and in the surrounding hills. It forms part of the Catholic parish of the same name.
The parish is in the barony of Tulla. It is 5 miles (8.0 km) northwest of Killaloe on the road to Scarriff. It lies on the south side of Scariff bay, which opens into Lough Derg.[2] Most of the parish lies in a valley, with high hills in the background.[3] The parish covers 5,554 acres (2,248 ha). Most of the land is suitable for farming, but there is some mountain bog. As of 1837 there was the ruins of an old church at Ballybrohan, and the ruins of Cahir castle on a small island about 100 yards (91 m) from the shore.[2]
