CLONAKILTY

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 555 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
CLONAKILTY , a seaport and market town of Co.
Cork
 , Ireland, in the
south
  parliamentary division, at the head of Clonakilty Bay, 33 M. S.W. of
Cork
  on a branch of the Cork,
Bandon
  &
South
 
Coast
  railway. Pop. of urban
district
  (1901), 3098. It was brought into prosperity by Richard Boyle, first
earl
  of Cork, and was granted a charter in 1613; but was partly demolished on the occasion of a fight between the English and Irish in 1641. It returned two members to the Irish
parliament
  until the union. In the 18th century there was an extensive linen industry. The present
trade
  is centred in brewing, corn-milling, yarn and farm-produce. The harbour-mouth is obstructed by a bar, and there is a pier for large vessels at Ring, a mile below the town. The fisheries are of importance. A ruined church on the
island
  of Inchdorey, and castles on Galley Head, at Dunnycove, and at
Dunowen, together with a stone circle, are the
principal
  antiquities in the neighbourhood.
