GAILE
or GEALE, a parish, in the barony of MIDDLETHIRD, county of
TIPPERARY, and province of Munster, 4
miles (S. by W.) from Thurles, on the road to Cashel;
containing 707 inhabitants.
It
comprises 2494 statute acres, valued at 1757 per annum which is all arable
and pasture with the exception of about 30 acres of rock on Killough Hill,
which, being surrounded by a flat country, is a very conspicuous object.
Near
it is Killough Castle, the occasional residence of the Hon. Mrs.
Plunkett; and the south-west side of the hill, which is planted, forms
part of the demesne of Gaile, the residence of S. Phillips, Esq.
The
living is a rectory, in the diocese of Cashel,
and in the patronage of the Archbishop: the tithes amount to £185. There
is no church, glebe-house or glebe; the protestant parishoners attend divine
service at the church of Holy Cross, about
three miles distant.
On
the demesne of Gaile are some remains of the old church.
