It comprises 1200 statute acres, of which 10 are woodland, 950 arable, 200 pasture, and about 40 waste. There are two flour-mills. The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Ossory, and the corps of the treasurership of the cathedral of St. Canice, Kilkenny, in the patronage of the Bishop. The glebe-house was built in 1821; the glebe comprises 18 acres. The church, a neat modern structure, was erected in 1815. In the R.
