Kilnamanagh Upper

Baronies were created after the Norman invasion of Ireland as divisions of counties and were used for 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 túath which had submitted to the Crown. ==Modern times==

When County Tipperary was split into North and South Ridings in 1836, the barony of Kilnamanagh was split into two half-baronies. Kilnamanagh Upper was allocated to the north riding with Kilnamanagh Lower being allocated to the south riding. ==Towns, villages and townlands of the barony==
