Rathconrath (Irish: Ráth Conarta),[1] previously the barony of Rathcomyrta, before that Daltons country,[2] is a barony in the west of County Westmeath, in Ireland. It was formed by 1542.[3] It is bordered by County Longford to the north–west and five other Westmeath baronies: Moygoish to the north, Moyashel and Magheradernon to the east, Moycashel and Clonlonan to the south and Kilkenny West to the west.
