The Carrigeenamronety Hill (Irish: Cnoc Charraigín na mBróinte: the little rock of the mill-stones/quernstones) Special Area of Conservation or SAC is a Natura 2000 site in the Ballyhoura Mountains, Ireland.

As well as key flora and fauna, the synopsis notes that the underlying geology of the area is Old Red Sandstone and Silurian rocks.

It is an established walking/cycling track - the Ballyhoura Darragh Hills Loop walk includes Carrigeenamronety and its neighbouring mountain, Carrighenry.

The target for the site is to ensure the area is stable or increasing, with regard to natural processes.

[13] The Historic Environment Viewer of the National Monuments Service includes records of the archaeology to be found on Carrigeenamronety Hill.

The rest of this enclosure consists of a double ring of dump constructed stone bank material.

[26] This is reputed to be where Mahon or Mathgamain mac Cennétig, King of Cashel and Munster and the brother of Brian Boru, was killed by armed men under the instruction of Ivar of Limerick the Dane, Máel Muad mac Brain (or Molloy king of Desmond) and Donnubán mac Cathail Donovan king of Hy Carbery (other possible locations for this execution include Mushera Mountain/Musheramore in Cork and Aghabullogue near Macroom).

In the except below, Carrigeenamronety (Carraigín na mBróinte in its original Irish name) is described phonetically as "Corrig-na-Brontha."

The hill to the west of it is Knockea, and that to the east Slieve Caoin; although from the names of the townlands along their base, the former is known by the peasantry , on the Limerick side, as Coolfree, and the latter as Kilcruig and Corrig-na-Brontha.

Here then we have the Slieve Caoin of the bards and seannachies, and the Mons Kea of the tripartite life of St. Patrick, according to Colgan; and between them Barna Dearg, so often the scene of a bloody contest, and so often traversed by hostile bands, penetrating to the fertile banks of the Funcheon and the Blackwater on the one side, or advancing towards the rich plains of Cashel, or Hy Figeinte on the other.

[27]The Annals of the Four Masters, translated into English by O'Donovan in 1856, describes the capture and execution of Mathgamhain (or Mahon) in 976 AD.

One version of the story places the capture of Mahon at Bruree in County Limerick, and the execution at a place called Bearna-dhearg, which is likely to refer to the gap of Red Chair between Carraigeenamronety Hill and Coolfree Mountain: "It is a chasm lying between the hills of Kilcruaig and Red-Chair; the former on the east and the latter on its west side.

[28] From the Dúchas Schools Collection of the Irish Folklore Commission, one story, recorded in 1937-1938 from Kildorrery, notes that Carrigeenamronety was where the brother of the "evil spirit" or witch Petticoat Loose lived.

[29] Another version of this story occurs in the Schools Collection, where there is a cave called Seomra Nóra (or "Nora's room" in English).

In this version of the story, Nóra is the sister of the hag at Labbacallee, and they hand each other the pipe as required across this great distance.
