Barnane (Irish: An Bearnán) is a townland in the civil parish of the same name in County Tipperary, Ireland.[1] Barnane or Barnane-Ely is one of eleven civil parishes in the historical barony of Ikerrin. It is also part of the Ecclesiastical parish of .

Location[]

It lies in the shelter of the southern slope of the Devil's Bit mountain. The R501 road nearby connects the village to the towns of Borrisoleigh to the west and Templemore to the east.

Legend[]

The townsland gets its name from the legend of Saint Patrick who was pursuing the Devil out of Ireland. In his haste to escape the Apostle of Ireland, the Devil took a bite out of the mountain. The resultant gap (Irish: Bearnán) is what we see today in an otherwise smooth, table-like mountain. Spitting it out again, the "bit" landed in South Tipperary and formed the Rock of Cashel.[citation needed]

Facilities and places of interest[]

There is a three teacher primary school. It is in the catchment area for Drom-Inch GAA club.

A large country house, Barnane House, once stood in the parish, but little now remains since the house was abandoned by its owner Andrew Carden, circa 1920.[2]
