Carrigrohane (also Currikippane or Kilgrohanmore,[1] meaning "marsh of the little sticks"[2][3]) is a village and civil parish situated on the south bank of the River Lee to the west of the city of Cork in Ireland.

According to the Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, published by Samuel Lewis in 1837, Carrigrohane village was connected via a stone bridge to the parish of Inniscarra and onwards to Macroom.

Lewis describe the surrounding lands as being "of excellent quality, and the farms, being in the occupation of persons with capital, are in a fine state of cultivation."

The quarrying of limestone and manufacture of gunpowder at Ballincollig encourage that industry among the people of which the fruits are seen in their comfortable appearance and the improved state of their habitations.

[5] Close to the Church of St Peter is Carrigrohane Castle, and what Lewis (1837) describes as the "ruins of a more modern house of great strength".
