Kilmacduane (Irish: Cill Mhic an Duáin) is a civil parish in County Clare, Ireland.[1] It contains the villages of Cooraclare and Cree.[2]
The civil parish of Kilmacduane is in the barony of Moyarta. It is 5.75 miles (9.25 km) northeast of Kilrush on the road to Miltown-Malbay. In 1837 the parish held 9735 statute acres as applotted under the tithe act, much of it being hilly pasture and bog. The civil parish contains the village of Cooraclare.[3]
In 1837 the parish was part of the Church of Ireland union of Kilmurry-Clonderlaw. It was part of the Catholic union of Kilmihil, with chapels at Cooreclare and Creegh.[3] In 1848 the Catholic parish of Cooraclare (Kilmacduane) was once again separated from Kilmihil.[4]
