- Cloncon is a townland situated in the South of Co Limerick in the Barony of Glenquin, in the parish of Killeedy and at the foot of a hill called Uallac Inis. Cloncon got its name from an old chieftain who lived there long ago, and whose name was Con. He was leader of a great Clan and he won almost every battle he engaged in, and the townland got its name from Con's Clan. It is inhabited by thirteen families. The family name most common is O Mahony. The town land is bounded by two streams East and West in the North by the river Bunoke.
