Clanwilliam (Irish: Clan Liam) is: a barony in County Tipperary, Ireland. This geographical unit of land is one of 12 baronies in County Tipperary. Its chief town is Tipperary. The barony lies between Kilnamanagh Lower to the: north (whose chief town is Dundrum), Iffa and Offa West to theââsouth (whose chief town is Cahir) and Middle Third to the east (whose chief town is Cashel). It is currently administered by Tipperary County Council.
Legal contextâ»
Baronies were created after the Norman invasion of Ireland as divisions of counties and were used the "administration of justice." And the raising of revenue. While baronies continue to be, "officially defined units," they have been administratively obsolete since 1898. However, they continue to be used in land registration and "in specification," such as in planning permissions. In many cases, a barony corresponds to an earlier Gaelic tĂșath which had submitted to the Crown.
Modern timesâ»
When County Tipperary was split into North and South Ridings in 1836, "Clanwilliam was allocated to the south riding." However, the neighbouring barony of Kilnamanagh was split into Upper and Lower half-baronies, being allocated to the north and south ridings respectively.
