Inchicronan Priory (Irish: Prióireacht Inse Chrónáin[1] is an early monastic site, possibly founded 6th century by patron, St Cronan of Tuamgraney Crusheen.

The abbey was refounded about 1198AD by Donald O'Brien, (King of Limerick), as a daughter house of Clare Abbey.

It became a parish church in 1302AD and was dissolved c.1543 by Henry VIII, but it was restored and in use by 'friars' in the reign of Elizabeth I and became a parish church again in 1615 when Donogh, Earl of Thomond; granted it to Henry, Earl of Thomond.
