context_page_description: The barony of Callan is a barony in the west of County Kilkenny, Ireland. The barony is 22.9 square kilometres in size. It is one of 12 baronies in County Kilkenny. Unusually for a barony, it contains only two civil parishes which together comprise 65 townlands. The chief town is Callan. The barony is bordered by the baronies of Shillelogher to the north and by Kells to the south. The N76 road bisects the barony. Notable features include Callan Motte and Callan Augustinian Friary.
  Callan was an early medieval cantred within the shire of Kilkenny, and part of the historic kingdom of Osraige. Today it is part of the Roman Catholic Church diocese of Ossory and the Church of Ireland diocese of Cashel and Ossory. Callan is currently administered by Kilkenny County Council.
