Bunratty Lower (Irish: Bun Raite Íochtarach) is a barony in County Clare, Ireland.
[1] This ancient unit of land division is in turn divided into fourteen civil parishes.
Baronies were created after the Norman invasion of Ireland as divisions of counties and were used the administration of justice and the raising of revenue.
In many cases, a barony corresponds to an earlier Gaelic túath which had submitted to the Crown.
[2] Bunratty Lower contains the parishes of Bunratty, Clonloghan, Drumline, Feenagh, Kilconry, Kilfinaghta, Kilfintinan, Kilmaleery, Kilmurry, Kilnasoolagh and Tomfinlough, as well as part of the parishes of Killeely, St. Munchin's and St. Patrick’s.
