Kilbrittain or Killbrittain (Irish: Cill Briotáin, meaning 'Briotáin's church')[2] is the name of a village, townland and parish in County Cork, Ireland.

[13] On 15 January 2009, an 18-metre (59 ft) fin whale became stranded and subsequently died on a beach in Courtmacsherry Bay.

The whale was featured in a Channel 4 documentary Inside Nature's Giants which showed autopsies of large mammals.

[15] It is believed that the Book of Lismore was compiled in the 15th century to commemorate the marriage of the Gaelic prince Finghin Mac Cárthaigh Riabhach, of Kilbrittain Castle, to Caitilín, daughter of the seventh Earl of Desmond.

The medieval manuscript contains 166 large vellum folios of material that a learned person of the time would have been expected to know.

MacCarthy was patron of the friary at Timoleague, and some of the book's pages were copied there in 1629 by the scribe Mícheál Ó Cléirigh.

The Book of Lismore contains many important texts, including a cosmological work, the Ever-new Tongue; the most extensive account of the lives of the saints in an Irish-language medieval manuscript; an Irish translation of the travels of Marco Polo; and one of the greatest compositions of the Fenian Cycle, Acallam na Senórach, or The Conversation of the Old Men.

The illustrated capitals are thought to have been added in the 19th century by Donnchadh Ó Floinn, an Irish-language scribe living on Shandon Street in Cork.
