Etymology
The original St. Mullin's barony took its name from the village of St. Mullin's (Irish: Tigh Moling).[1] The area now called St. Mullin's Upper was formerly an exclave until the two parts were separated in 1841.
Location

St. Mullin's Upper is bordered to the west by Forth, County Carlow; to the east and north by Shillelagh, County Wicklow; and to the south by Scarawalsh, County Wexford.
