The townland name Taulaght is derived from the Old Irish tamhlaght – meaning burial ground. Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 150) followed by Hore (1901-11, vol. 2, 1510) records that in digging the foundations for the present Taulaght House, or Thorla House as it was probably pronounced, human bones were uncovered together with what was called a piscina, which might have been a stoup, a font or a bullaun stone. The piscina was moved to the Roman Catholic church of Saint Leonards, c. 1.2 km to the N, but it is not known there now where there is a mortar which is likely to be the item. Lewis postulates that there was a church called Midway here because it was situated about half way between Clonmines and Tintern, but there are no historical references to such a church. Taulaght House is situated just off the crest of a S-facing slope, and has been removed without trace. It is not certain if there was ever a church here.

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
