Spancill Hill or Spancilhill (Ordnance Survey spelling Spancel Hill for the hill[1] and settlement,[2] Spancelhill for the electoral division;[3][1] Irish: Cnoc Uarchoille[1]) is a hill and adjacent dispersed settlement in County Clare, Ireland. The historic hamlet of Spancilhill was by the fair green,[4] which is still the site of the Spancill Hill Fair, which occurs annually on 23 June.[5] Houses are concentrated slightly south at Cross of Spancilhill, where the R352 road between Ennis to the west and Tulla to the east crosses a local road between Barefield to the north and Quin to the south.[6]
