The part of the city on King's Island is mostly in the parish.{{sfn|Lewis|1837}} AntiquitiesThe old church of St. Munchin's is said to have been built in 561, and to have once been the cathedral of the diocese of Limerick. Saint Munchin, the first Bishop of Limerick, is supposed to have been buried in the churchyard. According to tradition the church was burned by the Danes. There is an ancient stone near the north end of Thomond bridge called the treaty stone, since this is said to have been where the Treaty of Limerick was signed in 1691.{{sfn|Lewis|1837}} King's island has the remains of an old Dominican friary. A nunnery was established nearby, and in 1837 the nuns taught girls at no charge in an attached school. The Church of Ireland built a church in 1827 near the site of the old church with a square tower surmounted by pinnacles. A layer of ashes was found under the foundation of the old church, which may confirm the story of the earlier burning.{{sfn|Lewis|1837}} As of 1841 the total population was 4,593 in 537 houses.{{sfn|Parliamentary Gazetteer of Ireland 1845}} TownlandsThe Bunratty section includes the townlands of Ballycannan East, Ballycannon North, Ballycannan West, Cappateemore East, Cappateemore West, Glennagross, Gortgarraun, Knockalisheen and Mountgordon.{{sfn|Map of St. Munchins Parish showing Townlands}} ReferencesCitationsSources{{refbegin}}
