Place & story
A locally worked resource
Samuel Lewis describes Bansha and Templeneiry as alternative names for the parish in his 1837 dictionary. Its predominant underlying rock was limestone, quarried for building and road repairs as well as burnt into lime for agricultural use. His account also records a road crossing the parish between Cashel and Mitchelstown. Stone extraction thus supplied both construction and the improvement of farmland within a cultivated valley bordered by the Galtees and the Tipperary hills. [2]
