Cratloe (Irish: An Chreatlach from An Creat Shaleóg, meaning The Land of Sallow trees) is a village in County Clare, Ireland, situated between Limerick City and Ennis in the midwest of Ireland. It is also possible that the name derives from Croit-shliabh meaning "hump-backed hill", referring to Woodcock Hill.



Craughaun contains the ruins of an old church. There was a megalithic wedge tomb called Ballinphunta dolmen which was excavated in 1990 in order to expand the graveyard. A replica was erected in the new section of the graveyard.
