Freemount, County Cork

Freemount (Irish: Cillín an Chrónáin, meaning 'small church of Crónán')[1][2] is a village in County Cork in Ireland.

[5] The village and surrounding townland takes its original Irish name, Cillín an Chrónáin, from an early Christian church which was located on an earlier ringfort site.

[6] The village's later English name, Freemount, was first recorded in the mid-18th century,[1] and reputedly associated with the Freeman family of nearby Castlecor House.

[2] The Freeman family purchased Castlecor House, in neighbouring Kilbrin, in the early 18th century.
