Grangemockler (Irish: Gráinseach Mhóicléir)[1] is a village, civil parish and townland in southeastern County Tipperary, Ireland. It is located 2 km (1.2 mi) southwest of Ninemilehouse on the N76 national secondary road. As of the 2011 census, Grangemockler townland had a population of 193 people.[2]
Grangemockler likely gets its name from the Norman Irish family Mockler.[citation needed] Carrigmoclear Hill, a foothill of Slievenamon approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) northwest of the village, was the site of a battle during the 1798 Rebellion.[3][4] The local Roman Catholic church is dedicated to Saint Mary and was built c. 1880.[5]
