Granagh ( Irish: An Greanach, meaning "gravely place") [1] is a small village in County Limerick, Ireland. It is close to the village of Ballingarry and near the N20 road between Croom and Charleville. Granagh is a chapel village (a village that grew up around the church). [2]

The camogie team of Granagh-Ballingarry GAA club have won three All-Ireland club titles.

Archaeology

The 'Blessed Well' or 'St John's Well' was a small holy well surrounded by thorn bushes inside north fence of road 400 yards west of Granagh Catholic church. [3] Construction of the creamery and concrete yard appears to have removed all traces of the holy well and no archaeological features or finds were uncovered in the monitored area. [4]
