Clonmoyle Racecourse was a racecourse in the townland of Clonmoyle West, situated north-east of Aghabullogue village and north-west of Coachford village. The Ordnance Survey name book c. 1840 refers to Clonmoyle Racecourse as situated on the eastern side of Clonmoyle West townland, '60 chains north-east from Aghabologue Chapel'(). Measuring approximately one 'English mile' in circumference, it was located in a 'barren mountainous field' on the highest part of the townland, in which races took place 'three or four times' some years, and with no races taking place during other years. The racecourse is clearly depicted on the 1841 surveyed OS Map.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,545372,578238,7,7 )〕 The Cork Placenames Archive refers to related placenames, such as 'Racecourse Crossroads' and 'Racecourse Hill'. Today, Clonmoyle Racecourse is no longer used, with the land being employed for agricultural purposes. An annual race meeting, the Aghabullogue Point-to-point (steeplechase), takes place each January in the adjoining townland of Dromatimore. ==See also== *Clonmoyle West (townland) *Clonmoyle House West *Ballinadihy Bridge *Aghabullogue Bridge 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「Clonmoyle Racecourse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
