The name of this Parish is pronounced in Irish, Cnoc an Iubhair, 'the Hill of the Yew'.
... On the hill of Knockanure, which is situated three Irish miles to the East of Listowel, is a Church in ruins which is comparatively modern, with a burying ground attached to it, which is without wall or fence, but is much frequented. There is a patron held at Knockanure Cross on the 15th of August, where it is said there is a holy well called Tobar Righ an Domhnaigh
