Naas South (Irish: An Nás Theas) is a barony in County Kildare, Republic of Ireland.

Etymology

Naas South derives its name from the town of Naas (Irish Nás na Ríogh, "assembly-place of the kings").

Location

Naas South barony is located in east County Kildare, containing part of the upper Liffey valley and the western foothills of the Wicklow Mountains.

History

These were part of the ancient lands of the Ó Broin (O'Byrnes) before the 13th century, retaken in the 14th.[1] There was originally a single Naas barony, divided into north and south baronies before 1603.
