  Ennistimon, small market town (Saturdays) on the Inagh, parish of Kilmanaheen (q.v.), West county Clare, Ireland, 14 miles WSW of Ennis. The court-house and bridewell form a single building ; the other public buildings include a cruciform Protestant church (1830), Roman Catholic church, school, dispensary, and Union poor-house. Ennistimon House was formerly a seat of the O'Brien family. The Inagh is here crossed by a bridge, and a little lower down passes over a ledge of rocks, forming a picturesque cascade. Woollens are manufactured, but the industry has much declined. Population: 1200.
