  1. Cluen Finglass Abbey Bansha
    There is the remains of an old Abbey in Cluen, it is on the main road leading from Tipperary to Cahir. It is on the farm of Maurice Dalton. It was once a famous Abbey, but now it is in ruins. It was built in the century and is among one of the oldest in Ireland. It was called Cluen Finglass Abbey, but little of it now remains but parts of the walls and little heaps of stones.
    A lamb carved on a stone is one of the relics still to be seen here.
