Loughmoe East, also known as Callabeg[1] (Irish: Na Cealla Beaga),[2] is a civil parish in County Tipperary, Ireland.[3][4]

History

In A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, published by Samuel Lewis in 1837, the parish is described as:[1]

This parish is situated on the river Suir, which separates it from Loughmoe-West, and on the road from Templemore to Thurles, and comprises 3417 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act. On the townland of Killahara is a very fine old castle, which formerly belonged to the Purcells, and is now the property of Mr. Trant.

It is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cashel, and is part of the union of Templetuohy and corps of the prebend of Kilbragh in the cathedral of Cashel: the tithes amount to £249. 17. 9. There is a pay school, in which are about 30 boys and 20 girls.[1]
