Freemount (Irish: Cillín an Chrónáin, meaning 'small church of Crónán')[1][2] is a village in County Cork in Ireland. It lies on the River Allow, which is crossed by Allow Bridge (dated 1834) on the R578 regional road.[3][4] As of the 2016 census, Freemount village had a population of 159 people.[5]

History and name

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.[7]

Amenities

The Catholic church in the village is dedicated to Saint Michael and is in the Diocese of Cloyne.[8] A plaque on the facade of the church is dated 1842.[9]

The local Gaelic Athletic Association club, Freemount GAA, competes in the Duhallow division.[10]

As of 2021, Freemount's national (primary) school had approximately 80 pupils enrolled.[11]
