Древности
[ редактировать ]The old church of Kilmanaheen stood on top of a hill in the Lissatunna townland. It has almost vanished now, but the large cemetery surrounding it was still in use in 1897. According to tradition the church stood on the same place as the former Dún, or residence, of Baoth Bronach, King of Corcomroe. He gave the place to Saint Mainchín for the glory of God. There was a castle in Ennistymon, which in 1580 belonged to O’Connor. It has since disappeared.[2]
Settlements
[edit]In 1841 the population of the parish was 6,436 in 1,065 houses, of whom 4,494 lived in rural districts.[3]
Kilmanaheen contains the small town of Ennistymon and part of the village of Lahinch.[3] Ennistymon lies at one end of the N85 road from Ennis, and on the N67 road between Galway and Tarbert (via the Shannon Ferry). It has shops selling local crafts, pubs, restaurants and a weekly market. The river Cullenagh runs through the town. Ennistymon is near to the edge of the Burren, a scenic area. Ennistymon was a stop on the West Clare Railway until it was closed in the late 1950s. Brian Merriman, the poet, was born in Ennistymon in 1749. Caitlin Macnamara of Ennistymon married the Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.[4]
