You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Gortnahoe''' (((Irish place name|Gort na hUamha|tilled field of the cave))), also known as '''Gortnahoo''',<ref name="logainm">((cite web|url = https://www.logainm.ie/1416791.aspx| publisher = Placenames Database of Ireland | website = logainm.ie | title = Gort na hUamha / Gortnahoo (see scanned records) | date = | accessdate = 4 July 2021))</ref> is a village in [[County Tipperary]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]. It is located on the [[R689 road|R689]] [[Regional road (Ireland)|regional road]] ((convert|6|km|mi|abbr=on)) south of [[Urlingford]], [[County Kilkenny]]. It is ((convert|3|km|mi|abbr=on)) southeast of the [[N8 road (Ireland)|N8]] [[Dublin]] - [[Cork (city)|Cork]] road. Gortnahoe, pronounced "Gurt/na/hoo" by the locals, is part of the [[Ecclesiastical parish|parish]] of Gortnahoe–Glengoole.<ref>[http://glengoole.net/pages/news.html Gortnahoe-Glengoole] parish website</ref>

== Etymology ==
The former Irish name for Gortnahoe was ''Gort na hUaighe'', meaning the ploughed field of the grave.<ref name="logainm"/> This would seem to be a more accurate name than ''Gort na hUamha'' (the ploughed field of the cave). There is no evidence of a cave in Gortnahoe, and it is likely that the name came from the existence of a grave. Although it is uncertain, it is believed that this grave was uncovered during renovations of the Sacred Heart Church during the early 1900s, when two skeletal remains were recovered believed to belong to those who died at a battle in nearby Ballysloe between the Kings of Munster and Leinster.((citation needed|date=October 2018))

== History ==
((Unreferenced section|date=January 2013))
The village of [[New Birmingham]] lies between Gortnahoe and [[Glengoole]].((citation needed|date=July 2019))

In the townlands of New Park and Bawnleigh, there is Palatine Street, named after the [[Palatinate (region)|Palatinate region]] in Germany. In the 18th century, [[Sir William Barker]], the landlord in [[Kilcoole]]y, offered protection and property to families who left the Palatine. The [[Griffith's Valuation|Griffith Valuations]] of 1850 has record of a Methodist chapel and a Baptist chapel in that area. Descendants of those families still farm those areas and remain members of the Church of Ireland parish.((citation needed|date=July 2021))

Not far from Palatine Street is the Wellington Monument, with the inscription <blockquote>"Erected in August 1817 in the eightieth year of his age by Sir William Barker, in honour of his grace the Duke of Wellington and of his glorious victory over the French at Waterloo on the 15th June 1815."</blockquote>

With the decline of the Celtic monasteries and the arrival of the [[Cistercians]] in Ireland in the 12th century, the Cistercian monastery of Kilcooley was established by the monks from [[Jerpoint Abbey]] in 1184. The monastery continued to prosper until the disestablishment of the monasteries by [[Henry VIII of England|King Henry VIII]] in 1539. During this time there were also the church centres of Buolick and Fennor. All the townlands were divided between those three parishes.

The stonework at the ruins of [[Kilcooley Abbey]] was undertaken mainly by the O'Tunneys,((citation needed|date=July 2019)) including the tomb of [[Pierce Butler, 1st Viscount Ikerrin|Pierce Butler]] of Lismolin (who was descended from [[John Butler of Clonamicklon]]) and a number of other headstones. The carved slabs of the crucifixion, the abbot, St. Christopher and the mermaid are examples of their work.((citation needed|date=July 2019)) The church that was at Ballinalackin in Glengoole was an outchurch from Kilcooley.

Fennor, like Kilcooley and Buolick is mentioned in the Papal Taxation lists of 1291. The church is dedicated to the nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. When Archbishop James Butler visited the parish in 1752, the church at Fennor does not appear to have been in use. The ruins in Fennor cemetery include the ruins of the Church of Ireland church and the ruins of the Catholic church and the residence of the priests together.

In [[Buolick (townland)|Buolick townland]] are the remains of a motte, a [[tower house]] and a medieval church. Buolick was a parish as far back as 1291. The church in Buolick also has a protective tower. When a grave was being dug underneath the tower at the end of the 19th century, two bells were found underground. Those bells were given to Archbishop Croke and at the time of the restoration of Holycross Abbey they were hung in the tower of the abbey.

During the 18th century the Penal Laws made it difficult for Catholics to practice their religion and priests were scarce throughout Ireland. The outcome was that in 1743 the parishes of Kilcooley, Buolick and Fennor were amalgamated with Urlingford and Graine. The amalgamation continued until Fr. Michael Meighan became P.P. of Gortanhoe and Glengoole in 1805. It was Fr. Michael Meighan who built a new church in Glengoole in 1815. This was replaced on the same site by the present church which was built in 1976. The present church in Gortnahoe was also built by Fr Michael Meighan in 1820. This church underwent renovations in 1923, 1974–75 and in 2008. During the renovation in 1923, two skeletal remains were found when the original foundations of the church were dug up. These were believed to belong to those who died in a battle in nearby Ballysloe between the Kings of Leinster and Munster. These remains were reburied nearby.((citation needed|date=July 2019))

At the time of Catholic Emancipation in 1829, the government launched a major enquiry into the provision of education and in that report it is stated that there were twelve schools in the parish, organised and funded in different ways. Nine of them were Roman Catholic schools and three were Protestant schools. It was in 1831 that the Board of National Education was established. Since 1829 there have been several amalgamations, leaving three schools in the parish at Gortnahoe, Ballysloe and Glengoole.((citation needed|date=July 2019))

===Buolick tower house, church and cemetery===
[[File:Castles of Munster- Buolick, Tipperary (1) (geograph 4568864).jpg|thumb|Buolick [[tower house]] ]]
Evidence of ancient settlement in the area include multiple ring forts, a ringwork and bailey structure and medieval church and graveyard.((citation needed|date=July 2021)) The latter, in [[Buolick (townland)|Buolick townland]], lies immediately west of a 15th-century castle or [[tower house]].<ref>((cite book | last = Dillon | first = M | date = 1963 | title = Laud Misc. 610 (cont.).

During archaeological digs, two large bells were uncovered on the site, these were displayed outside the Archbishop's Palace in Thurles beside the Cathedral of the Assumption, until the restoration of Holy Cross Abbey, where they were rehung and remain to this day.((citation needed|date=July 2021))

===Kilcooley===
((main|Kilcooly Abbey))
Kilcooley, located within walking distance of the village, consists of one of Ireland's largest country estates.((citation needed|date=July 2021)) It is the ancestral home of the Ponsonby-Barker family, and remained in their ownership until the estate was sold in 2008.((citation needed|date=July 2021)) Upon the grounds sits a Cistercian abbey known as [[Kilcooly Abbey|Kilcooley Abbey]] which dates from 1182. The church has two large carved windows on its east and west side, and its chancel contains two stone tombs and a stone altar. One of these tombs is that of the knight Piers Fitz Oge Butler. His tomb records his death as taking place in 1526 and has some carvings of ten apostles on the side of it carved by Rory O'Tunney. The sacristy is entered through a carved archway that has several carvings, including a scene depicting the crucifixion and a mermaid holding a mirror, which was meant to depict vanity.((citation needed|date=July 2021)) Although the private manor house and most the lands are now private property, the abbey remains open to the public.((citation needed|date=July 2021))

===Crag Walk===
The Crag walk is in the nearby townland of Grange.((citation needed|date=July 2021)) This 6&nbsp;km loop follows minor road, forestry tracks and woodland trails which ascend to a height from which there are views of Kilcooly Abbey, the hills to the east and the bog to the west.((citation needed|date=July 2021)) The village of Grange is based around the medieval tower-house castle that protected the area for the abbey estate.
