Grenan townland is over 500 acres and is located a couple of miles SE of Durrow, on the Kilkenny border between the Nore and the Owenbeg rivers.. The town of Attanagh, for which the civil parish is named, is actually a small part of the townland of Grenan. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
