Croagh

Croagh (Irish: Cróch)[2] is a small village and civil parish in County Limerick, Ireland.

It is located in mid-Limerick between Rathkeale and Adare just off the N21 national primary road,[3] approximately 22 kilometres (14 miles) south west of Limerick City.

Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes a number of ringfort and fulacht fiadh sites in the townlands of Croagh, Adamstown and Ballycannon.
