Moycarkey

Moycarkey (Irish: Maigh Chairce),[1] sometimes written Moycarky, is a village at the northern end of Moycarky townland in the civil parish of Moycarky in County Tipperary, Ireland.

To the west of the castle, there is a Catholic church, St. Peter's, which was built some time before the first Ordnance Survey in the early 19th century and heavily modernised in the mid-20th century.

Beside the church is the parochial house for the Catholic parish of Moycarkey, Littleton, Two-Mile-Borris.

To the north of the current church, just across the road, there is an old graveyard and the ruins of an old church; to the north of these ruins, the first Ordnance Survey map showed the remains of what it termed an 'R.C.

[2] The modern graveyard, in which the first burial was made around 1958, is located a hundred metres or so to the south of the current church.
