This parish is bounded on the south by the Slievebaughta mountains, and comprises 2734 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act. It is a vicarage, in the diocese of Clonfert, forming part of the union of Loughrea; the rectory is partly appropriate to the bishoprick, and partly to the corps of the prebend of Kilteskill in the cathedral of Clonfert. The tithes amount to £88. 1. 1., of which £20. 9. 8½. is payable to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, £10. 5. 4½. to the prebendary, and £57. 6. to the vicar. In the R.
