Athlone North (Irish: Baile Átha Luain Thuaidh[1]), also called North Athlone,[2] is a barony in County Roscommon, Ireland.[3][4] Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units.[5] They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.[6][7]
