  Clare Places - Cratloe: Historical Background
The name CRATLOE is derived from the gaelic CREAT-SHAILEÓG, meaning the sallow wood, or the land of sallow trees.
Cratloe's importance stems from the fact that it was one of the major passes on highways from Munster into Connacht as the hills to the north, and the Shannon to the south, rendered these routes inaccessible.
Cratloe is next mentioned in 1510 when an English and Irish army led by Gearóid Fitzgerald, Earl of Kildare and Justice of Ireland, marched into Thomond.
