Tuamgraney (Irish: Tuaim Gréine, meaning "Tomb of Gráinne") is a village in eastern County Clare in the west of Ireland. Situated a kilometer from the River Graney which flows into Lough Derg, it is an ancient settlement, noted for St Cronin's church, said to be the oldest church in constant use in Ireland.
The village lies in such close proximity to the town of Scariff that today the two are often considered to be one single settlement.[1] The well known novelist Edna O'Brien was born in Tuamgraney in 1930.
The Ó Cillín family were coarbs of Tuamgraney.
Until 2011 the village also housed to the Republic of Ireland's only chipboard factory.[citation needed]
