the diocese of Killaloe is at the town of that name. Cromlechs are
found, chiefly in the rocky limestone district of Burren in the N.W.,
though there are some in other baronies. That at Ballygannor is formed

the W. part of the state, bordering on the Connecticut river. Pop.

Among the manufactures are woollen and cotton goods, paper, mining and

organized in 1764; in 1908 Claremont was chartered as a city. It was
named from Claremont, Lord Clive's country place.
