Location of the townland within the parish

Glenkeen is a townland in the civil parish of the same name in County Tipperary.[1]

The glebe house for the Church of Ireland parish of Glenkeen was located in this townland and had a glebe of 11 acres.[2] The glebe house was built in 1785, a few years after the construction of a Church of Ireland parish church in the nearby town of Borrisoleigh. After this church was closed, the glebe house was sold in 1870 to a Martin Ryan, an ancestor of the present-day owners.[3]
