Castlehyde (Irish: Carraig an Éidigh)[1] is a townland and estate, slightly west of Fermoy in County Cork, Ireland. The estate's manor house, Castlehyde House, had been the ancestral home of Douglas Hyde's family[2] and is one of several houses owned by Irish dancer, Michael Flatley.[3]

The townland of Castlehyde, which is c. 32 hectares (79 acres) in area,[4] is in the civil parish of Fermoy and the historical barony of Condons and Clangibbon.[1] It is bordered by Castlehyde East (198 hectares (490 acres)), in which Castlehyde House is located, and Castlehyde West (17 hectares (42 acres)).[5][6]
