(14th & 15th centuries)
Source: Red Book of Ossory
To provide a sense for the large number of "Catholic Parishes" in the Diocese of Ossory, prior to the Reformation, these lists are copied from Taxations of the Diocese of Ossory, The History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory, published by Rev. William Carrigan in 1905. Translation of placenames into more modern placenames (cited in parentheses) is largely based on the same source. There are 152 placenames listed in the first column. Note: an ecclesia is a parish church.
