Athnid (Irish Áth Nid, "ford of the nest"[1]), some times written Adnith, or Athnett, is a civil parish in the barony of Eliogarty in County Tipperary. It is divided into two townlands: Athnid More (containing a little more than 638 acres)) and Athnid Beg (containing a little more than 216 acres).
Writing in 1837, Lewis said that the parish had 253 inhabitants.[2]
Like all civil parishes, this civil parish is derived from, and co-extensive with a pre-existing Church of Ireland parish of the same name.
The lands of Athnid parish were owned by the Cistercian Abbey of Woney in County Limerick.[3] The lands of the parish were mentioned in rent returns for 1303.[4]
Lewis said that the vicarage of Athnid was "partly united, by act of council, in 1682" to the living of the Church of Ireland parish of Thurles.[5]
