Kinsale (Irish: Cionn tSáile) is a historical barony in south County Cork, Ireland.[1][2]

Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units.[3] They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.[4][5]

History and legend

Kinsale barony was originally O'Kearney territory; by the 13th century the De Courcys had it.[6][7]

Geography

Kinsale is in the south of the county, a coastal region containing the town of Kinsale and the lower reaches of the River Bandon.
