Kilteely-Dromkeen
Kilteely and Dromkeen is a parish in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly. It is located in east County Limerick, near the border of County Tipperary in Ireland. The village of Kilteely or in Irish Cill Tíle (The Church of Tidel) stands below the Hill of Kilteely, about 14 miles south-east of Limerick City.
The village of Dromkeen or in Irish Drom Caoin (The Smooth Ridge) is little more than a crossroads on the N24 Limerick- Waterford Road, halfway between Limerick City and Tipperary Town.
==Geography==
The landscape in this parish is subtly unusual, different from the predominantly flat County Limerick This is because Kilteely-Dromkeen is situated in one of the most important Carboniferous Volcanic districts in either Great Britain or Ireland. A wide variety of igneous rocks from two volcanic phases of about 300 million years ago can be found here. The volcanic plugs of Knockderk 220 m (782 ft) and Kilteely Hill 176 m (580 ft) are both conical in appearance, while in the neighbouring parish of Pallasgreen stands the Hill of Nicker, where hardened lavas have formed a cliff of basalt hexagons, similar to those found at the Giant's Causeway. As the area is within the Golden Vale, the land in this area is generally good, and is used primarily for the grazing of livestock and some tillage. The Mulkear River river flows through the eastern edges of Dromkeen parish.
