Kinalmeaky (Irish: Cineál mBéice)[1] is a barony in County Cork, Ireland.[2]
Etymology
Kinalmeaky takes its name from Cenél-mBéice, Irish for "the kindred of Béce," an ancestor of the O'Mahonys.[3][4]
Geography
Kinalmeaky is located in south-central County Cork, on the Bandon River.[5]
History
Kinalmeaky was anciently a territory of the Ó Mathghamhna (O'Mahoney), chief of Ui Eachach Mumhan.[6][7] The rebellion of Conoghor Ó Mathghamhna led to the confiscation of Kinalmeaky in 1580 after the Second Desmond Rebellion, and it was sold to Richard Grenville.[8] In 1628 the territory was used for the title of Viscount Boyle of Kinalmeaky. In the 17th century, it was described as "wild, overgrown and encumbered with woods and bogs."[9]
