Riverstown (near Birr)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Riverstown (Irish: Baile Uí Lachnáin, meaning "town of O'Loughnin")[1] is a small village straddling the border between Counties Tipperary and Offaly on the outskirts of Birr in Ireland. It is mostly within the townland of Ballyloughnane, on the Tipperary side of the river.
Riverstown lies at the point where the N52 national secondary road crosses the Little Brosna River, a tributary of the River Shannon, by a 300-year-old five-arch bridge, the Little Brosna here forming the border between the two counties.
