LocationRathborney parish is in the Barony of Burren, {{convert|8.5|mi}} from the village of Burren on the road to Ennistymon.{{sfn|Lewis|1837}} It is {{convert|2.25|mi}} SSW of Ballyvaughan and includes territory in the valley of Ballyvaughan, the slopes of surroundings hills and the side valley of the Rathborney river (also known as Feenagh Valley). The parish is {{convert|5|by|4|mi}}, and covers {{convert|9633|acre}}. The highest point is Cappanavulla hill, on the northern boundary, at {{convert|1023|ft}} above sea level.{{sfn|Rathbourney: Parliamentary Gazetteer 1845}} Much of the parish is rocky hill pasture, and there is some blanket bog in the west of the parish.{{sfn|Lewis|1837}} DemographicsIn 1841, the parish had a population of 1,000 in 177 houses.{{sfn|Rathbourney: Parliamentary Gazetteer 1845}} AntiquitiesThe parish includes numerous prehistoric and historic sites, including several ringforts such as the earthen Ballyallaban ringfort and the limestone Cahermore ringfort. At Cahermacnaghten stands the central cashel of the O'Davoran family with the ruins of their law school nearby. In Faunarooska townland there are several wedge tombs. In Gleninsheen townland, the Gleninsheen Gorget was discovered in 1932. There are also remains of more wedge tombs, known as the Gleninsheen wedge tombs. There are two church ruins within 500 m of each other, both in Croagh North townland. One is known as Glenaraha (Gleann na Ratha or Valley of the Ráths or Ringforts), with a ringfort (Doontorpa) nearby. It is a large t-shaped church with a vestry to the east. According to a sign in the west annexe, it was built in 1795 by the 1st Marquess of Buckinghham for use by his tenants. By 1837 the church had been enlarged and 40 acres of land allotted for use by the parish priest.[5]{{rp|95-6}} The other church is known as Rathborney Church, from Ráth Bhoirne (the Ráth of the Burren) and was built inside the remains of another ringfort. Most of the remains date to the 15th century, when a smaller earlier church was almost completely rebuilt. Parts of the east and north wall date to that original structure. Later features include the ornate east window and the pointed arch of the doorway in the south wall. A cemetery surrounds the church and it includes several crude grave markers of unknown date. There is also a bullaun. Its presence and the fact that the original church was built before 1302 inside a ringfort may indicate a monastic origin for this site.[5]{{rp|95}} On July 24, 2017, Benjamin Serinsky and Samantha Hassard "tied the knot" at Rathborney Church with Dara Molloy as their officiant. They were joined by their parents, Samantha's best friend, and Blackie O'Connell, who played the uilleann pipes. It was a beautiful ceremony, which was followed by pints at O'Loclainn's pub, a photography adventure around the burren, and a superb meal at Gregans Castle Hotel. The rebuilt tower house and hotel of Gregans Castle are located in the parish, in the townlands of Gregan West and Gregan East, respectively.{{sfn|Lewis|1837}} Townlands and hamletsThe parish contains the townlands of Ballyallaban, Berneens, Burrenwee, Cahermacnaghten, Cahermacun, Cloonmartin, Cullaun, Cregavockoge, Croagh North, Croagh South, Donnyvardan, Drumbrickaun, Faunarooska, Feenagh, Garracloon, Gleninsheen, Gragan East, Gragan West, Lisgoogan, Lislarheenmore, Lismacsheedy, Lismacteige, Lissylisheen, Poulacapple and Poulnabrucky.{{sfn|Map of Rathbourney Parish showing Townlands}} The hamlets in 1845 were Knockatun, Lissaroo, Cahirmacun and Croagh.{{sfn|Rathbourney: Parliamentary Gazetteer 1845}} ReferencesCitations1. ^ tags -->| area_footnotes = | area_urban_footnotes = |
