Name edit

The name Tiobra Fhachna means "well of Saint Fachtna", who was at Lismore Abbey in the seventh century.[5] Various anglicised spellings include Tibberaghny,[3] Tiberaghny,[6] Tipperaghny,[7] Tybroughney,[5] Tyburoughny,[7] Tibroughny,[6] Tybrachny.[3][6]

History edit

Saint Fachtna's well, the holy well from which the townland is named, lies near the ruined former parish church.[8] Saint Modomnoc reputedly lived as a hermit in the area in the sixth century, and a pattern was celebrated there on 13 February, his feast day.[9][10] The church was built before the Norman invasion of Ireland, and the parish formerly belonged to the Diocese of Lismore rather than the Diocese of Ossory.[11] A pillar in the churchyard is carved in the style of a Celtic high cross, of which it may be a remnant.[8][12] In the Church of Ireland the parish was united to Whitechurch parish by 1821,[13] and in 1833 both were among five civil parishes in the benefice of Fiddown.[7][14] In the Catholic church it is part of Templeorum parish.[7]

The site is at the limit of access upstream on the Suir for medieval sea-going vessels.[5] A Viking settlement here was destroyed in 980.[5] Prince John of England built a castle here in 1185, shortly after the Norman invasion, to guard the northern border of Waterford.[5] John's castle may have been built on the site of the extant Tybroughney Castle built in the 15th century,[5] or a motte-and-bailey on a now-empty height near by.[7][15] The parish was in County Tipperary as late as 1536, but had been transferred to County Kilkenny by 1649.[16]

Population edit

Censuses recorded population by townland until 1911.
