Kingscourt, historically known as Dunaree (Irish: Dún an Rí, meaning 'fort of the king'),[2] is a town in County Cavan, Ireland.
The local Catholic church, which is perched high above the town, contains stained glass windows by the renowned Irish artist Evie Hone, who also provided designs for Eton College Chapel.
The local Church of Ireland, St. Ernan's,[8] Lisasturrin, Enniskeen, Kingscourt Parish, a gothic revival church built c. 1780, has the stained glass Four Evangelists' window (1864), originally in St. Jude's, Dublin, from the William Wailes studio Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Dún na Rí Forest Park is located a couple of kilometers from Kingscourt.
The Pratt dynasty moved into the current Cabra Castle (which is just across the Carrickmacross Road from the forest park's main entrance) in 1813.
Kingscourt has a railway line which has been disused following strike action by Iarnród Éireann train drivers in 2001.
