description from Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837
DROMINEER,
a parish, in the barony of LOWER ORMOND, county of TIPPERARY,
and province of MUNSTER, 5 miles (N.W.) from Nenagh, containing 561
inhabitants.
This
parish, which is bounded on the east by Lough Derg, comprises 1672
statute acres of arable and pasture land.
The
principal seats are Annabeg, the residence of J.R. Minnitt, Esq.;
Shannon Vale, of J. Odell, Esq.; and Hazel Point, of
Lieut. P.Bayly, R.N.
It
is a rectory, in the diocese of Killaloe, and one of the parishes that
constitute the union of Ballynaclough: the
tithes amount to £110.
In
the Roman Catholic divisions it forms part of the union or district of
Monsea.
A
school, endowed by the Countess of Farnham with £30 per annum,
and an acre and a half of land, affords instruction to about 40 children;
and about 80 more are taught in a private school.
One of the principal stations of the Inland Navigation Company on the Shannon has been established near the castle of Dromineer, which is much dilapidated. Here is a Danish fort, occupying more than two acres, in the ditch surrounding which brass battle-axes, coins, large human bones, etc., have been discovered.
