  1. This school is situated in the townland of Harristown, called in Irish Baile h-Annraoí. Harristown is square in shape and each side is about one mile in area. It is in the Parish of Templeorum, in the barony of Iverk, in south Kilkenny, and is in the centre of a district known as the Walsh Mountain.
    Harristown is between four and five hundred feet over sea level. The land slopes from the north east corner to the South and East.
    It is bounded on the north by Lismatigue; on the south by Milltown and Corbally, on the south west by Ashtown, on the west by Kilmogue, on the east by Bally Knock and Ballintubber. Streams form the boundaries on the south and east.
