Pallaskenry

Pallaskenry (Irish: Pailís Chaonraí, meaning 'the palisade of Caonraí') is a village in County Limerick, Ireland.

[2] The village is located about 24 km (15 mi) west of Limerick city close to the River Shannon estuary.

The town is reached by travelling about five kilometres (~3 miles) north off the N69 National Route that runs west from the city.

[6] There have been a number of archaeological finds in the area, including the Shannongrove Collar which was found at a depth of 12 feet in a bog on lands granted to Phineas Bury during Cromwellian plantations.
