Carrignamuck () is a townland within the civil parish of Magourney and catholic parish of Aghabullogue, County Cork, Ireland. It is 363.76 acres in size, situate north-east of Coachford village, and north-west of Dripsey village. One of the earliest references to Carrignamuck is contained within an Elizabethan fiant of 1573, when a pardon was granted to Donald m'Teig M'Cartie of ''Carignymucke''. This is likely to have been Donyll McTeige MacCarthy (tanist of Muskerry and brother of Sir Cormac McTeige MacCarthy of Blarney Castle) who resided at Carrignamuck Tower House. In a sketch map dated ''c''. 1590 and titled ''the description of Muskery'', the area is described as ''Carrigomuck''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://collections.rmg.co.uk/archive/objects/541704.html )〕 The OS name book (''c''. 1840), in addition to mentioning the 'ruins, house and demesne of Dripsey Castle' describes Carraig na Muc as 'bounded on the north and east by the Dripsey River, on the south by Kilgobinet and Dereen townlands and in the Barony of East Muskerry', and mainly being 'under cultivation'. The Down Survey Maps (1656-8) refer to it as ''Carrickmuck'' (Barony of Muskerry Map)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Muskerry&c=Cork&indexOfObjectValue=-1&indexOfObjectValueSubstring=-1 )〕 and ''Carrignemucke'' (Parish Map). The accompanying terrier states that 'on Carrignamucke stands a Castle and a Mill' naming the proprietor as Cormack McCallaghane Carthy who held 574 acres.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Muskerry&c=Cork&indexOfObjectValue=-1&indexOfObjectValueSubstring=-1&p=Killcoleman+Mattehy+and+Iniscarragh )〕 Smith in 1774 refers to 'the castle of Carignamuck'. By the early nineteenth century, the townland was commonly named as Carrignamuck, with Lewis in 1837 referring to 'the ancient castle of Carrignamuck' and both the Ordnance Survey name book (''c''. 1840) and the OS 1842 surveyed map use the same name. The majority of sources, such as O'Murchú (1991) contend Carrignamuck derives from ''Carraig na Muc'' meaning 'rock of the pigs'. O'Donoghue (1986) holds Carrig na Muc as deriving its name 'from a pass in the nearby Dripsey River where it was customary to kill pigs which provided supplies of bacon for the castle ... while the Lord of Muskerry lived at Blarney, his Tanist always held Carrignamuck'. Another version is that 'the proper name of Carrignamuck was Carrigcormac ... and that Carrignamuck Tower House was so called after Cormac Laidher McCarthy, the builder of Blarney Castle'. Milner (1975) also subscribes to this alternative view. Townlands vary greatly in size, being territorial divisions within parishes in Ireland. Extensively used for land surveys, censuses and polling systems since the seventeenth century, townlands have also been used as the basis for rural postal addresses. In County Cork, surveying and standardisation of townland names and boundaries by the Ordnance Survey during the mid-nineteenth century, resulted in some earlier townland names disappearing, due to amalgamation or division. The townlands resulting from such surveys were employed during the Primary Land Valuation (Griffith's Valuation), subsequent censuses, and continue in use today. ==Townland sites/items of interest== *Dripsey Castle, Carrignamuck *Carrignamuck Tower House *Dripsey Castle Bridge *Trafalgar Monument, Carrignamuck *Colthurst's Bridge *Larchfield House, Carrignamuck 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carrignamuck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
