There are two townlands named Rathpatrick.
365 Acres Co. Kilkenny. Barony of Ida, Civil Parish Rathpatrick PLU Waterford
998 acres Co. Kilkenny,  Barony of Galmoy, Civil Parish Erke ,PLU Urlingford
I suggest you do a Google search for Sean Ruad IreAtlas to find Slieverue.
I think this should be Slieveroe and there are several places with that name
