The townland covered 381 acres, two roods and eleven perches and was listed under Knocktemple parish and electoral division, Duhallow barony, Milford dispensary district and Kanturk Poor Law Union.

A town across three townlands
Freemount Town had 112 inhabitants in 1911. Of these, 103 lived in its Knocktemple electoral-division portion, which extended across Freemount and Knocknamuck townlands. The other nine lived in the Allow division portion on Knockaneglass West, in Tullylease parish. The census footnotes keep these town figures separate from the rural returns. [2]
