Toomevara

Toomevara, officially Toomyvara[2][3] (Irish: Tuaim Uí Mheára, meaning 'tumulus of the Ó Meadhra's'), is a village in County Tipperary, Ireland, 11 km east of Nenagh.

It is a parish in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Killaloe,[4] and is in the historical barony of Ormond Upper.

The site was possibly an earlier monastic centre dedicated to St Donain.

In 1450 the warden pleaded that, on account of poverty, the value being under 16 marks he and his convent could not be decently maintained, nor repair the cloister and other buildings, most of which had been burnt down during wars.

At the dissolution the property of the priory of Toomevara is listed as 'one castle, wall and other buildings on the site'.
