Dunkerrin Church,  Dunkerrin was the site of an ancient castle (Ballinakill), now in ruins, that was built in the  16th century.  This region of Tipperary contains many historical monuments, ruins and old castles.  In Longstone, for example, there is an ancient druid stone arrangement.  In addition, Roscrea and Nenagh have ancient sites worth exploring.

What about Edward Hill?  In the counties where baptismal records are available, the collection is still incomplete., At this time, there are two Ed Hills in Limerick and Tipperary who were born between 1819 and 1829 in Limerick and Tipperary.  We know of two records.  Unfortunately baptismal records were not maintained by the parish church...they were owned by the priest.  If the priest left the area...so did the records.  The following are the two "Eds that are in the databases::

+ Edmond Hill, 1823, Limerick

+Edward Hill, 1829, Tipperary

Killoscully Village,  Killoscully village is on the northeastern side of Keeper Hill, the largest hill in the Silvermines Mountain range.  Silvermines, historically known as Bellagowan  (Irish: Béal Átha Gabhann), is a village in the North Tipperary in Ireland.  It is in the Silvermines mountain range where silver was mined.
