Carrigrohane (also Currikippane or Kilgrohanmore,[1] meaning "marsh of the little sticks"[2][3]) is a village and civil parish situated on the south bank of the River Lee to the west of the city of Cork in Ireland. It is connected by the Carrigrohane Straight, 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Cork and is also in the northeastern part of Ballincollig. It contains St Peter's Church of the Resurrection.[4] In 1837, it had a population of 1921 inhabitants.[1] The civil parish is almost evenly split between the baronies of Muskerry East to the west and the Barony of Cork to the east.
