    Ranacrohy is a small townsland situated on the right hand side of the road about half way between the village of Dundrum and the town of Tipperary. The Rath from which the townsland gets its name is in the holding of Mr. Hogan of Greenane.
    The tradition about this place is that after the Rebellion of 1798 a gallows was erected on the Rath, and that those who were suspected of being members of the United Irishmen Society in the district were hanged there. Hence the name Ranacrohy which is Ráth na Croiche.
