Affane

Affane (Irish: Áth Mheáin, meaning 'central ford')[1] is a small village in west County Waterford, Ireland, situated near Cappoquin and the River Blackwater.

[4] The Battle of Affane between the Desmond and Ormonde clans was fought in the area in 1565.

The parish church of Affane, listed as Athmethan and valued at over £6 in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-1306) was located south of the ruins.

By the mid 16th century it had been united with the church of Dungarvan, but in a visitation of 1588 it was in the Deanery of Ardmore.

[5] The local Gaelic Athletic Association club is Affane Cappoquin GAA.
