Ballyagran is about 1 mile from the Cork border and about 8 miles south west of the village of Bruree. In fact the townland of Rusheen is in Co. Cork, although in the parish of Ballyagran and the Diocese of Limerick. The village of Ballyagran grew up around the church and thus is called a chapel village. The church of Colmanswell is located 5 miles south west of Bruree. Interestingly, there are actually two separate townlands of the same name in this parish, each called Gortroe, one in the Northwest corner, and the other in the South East.
