Cratloe
Cratloe () is a village in County Clare, Ireland, situated between Limerick and Shannon in the mid-west of Ireland.

History The area of Cratloe is first mentioned in the Annals of the Four Masters, where it is recorded that in 376 AD, Crimthann mac Fidaig, King of Munster and High King of Ireland died in the Cratloe area from poison administered by his sister, Mongfind, who wished for her son Brión mac Echach Muigmedóin to be High King.
