Gwynn and Hadcock (1988, 330) refer to Rathronan as being a manor of the Templars and 'during his brief tenure after the accession of Q. Elizabeth, Prior Massingberd of Kilmainham leased out the tithes of Rathernonane and other places: Fiant Q.Eliz. 2208'. Power (1908, 5) and the OS Letters mention this as the location of an earlier church (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 51). On top of a hill in a commanding position, with good views in every direction. The present church is a late 18th-century C of I church in ruins. There is no visible trace of an earlier church.
