Rosscarbery
Rosscarbery or Roscarbery〔http://www.westernpeople.ie/news/mhgbcwgbcw/〕 () is a town in County Cork, Ireland. The town is on a shallow estuary, which opens onto Rosscarbery Bay.
==History==
The area has been occupied from very early times, as is evidenced by the Neolithic remains (pred 2000 BC) such as Portal Dolmens. The area is very strong in Bronze Age remains - including a number of Stone Circles. There are also two Inscribed Stones in Burgatia. The number of Ring Forts and Holy Wells witnesses the Iron Age and transition from the Old to the New (Christian) God.
Rosscarbery was home to the School of Ross, a major centre of learning, at one time being a university town, and one of the major cities in Europe, around the 6th century. Due to its popularity as a centre of pilgrimage it was also known as Ros Ailithir. The hereditary chieftains of the area, or tuath, were the O'Learys, known as Uí Laoghaire Ruis Ó gCairbre, until it passed to Norman control in the early thirteenth century.〔O'Flanagan, P. and Buttimer, C.G. ''Cork History and Society'', Interdisciplinary Essays on the History of an Irish County, Geography Publications, Dublin 1993 p. 216〕 The entire region had belonged to the ancient Corcu Loígde, of whom the O'Learys were one of the leading septs.
