Curraghbinny

Curraghbinny (Irish: Corra Binne),[1] also sometimes spelled Currabinny or Currabinney,[2] is a townland in County Cork, Ireland.

[3] Located on Cork Harbour near Ringaskiddy and with an area of 2.4 square kilometres (240 ha), it is a townland in the barony of Kerrycurrihy.

[2][5] Curraghbinny Wood, a forested amenity of approximately 35 hectares (86 acres), contains the remains of a Bronze Age cairn which is known locally as the "giant's grave".

[6][7][8] The cairn, which was subject to excavation in the 1930s (during which cremated human remains and a bronze ring were found), was restored in the 1990s.

[10][11] There is a large pharmaceutical manufacturing plant, which was acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific from GlaxoSmithKline for €90m in 2019, in Curraghbinny townland.
