Rathbran is now part of the Lobinstown Parrish, which is all within the County Meath within Republic of Ireland.
Historically speaking Rathbran is of huge importance when looking at Irish History, ranging from Irelands first settlers that lived in the area, up to early Christian times where the area was alive with activity, and up to where the area had a number of running Mills for corn. In the Sports word the are beholds two past Gallic football pitches and one handball court, though more importantly historically in the history of the games is the record prior to the foundation of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) that shows a match of alternative rules that was played in the area.
The records for Lobinstown state that is was a place of 7 churches and 5 schools, thus common assumption is that one was in the Rathbranchurch area, to the west of Sliabh Breagh landmark.
21st century Rathbran, is a somewhat quieter place, the population far down from years gone past, the area has remained agricultural however, though the industries, churches and schools that were one in the area are long since gone into past history books and forgotten by most.
The main road that passed Rathbran is the Lobinstown - Rathbran - Collon road.
