a town of Ireland, situated in the county of Cork and province of Munster, 108 miles from Dublin. It is a thriving place, with a good church, at the foot of a large ridge of mountains called Kilworth mountains, through which a good turnpike road is carried from Dublin to Cork: below the town runs the river Funcheon, which is well stored with salmon and trout, and discharges itself a mile south of this into the Blackwater. Near Kilworth is a good glebe and vicarage house. At this place is Moorpark, the superb seat of Lord Mountcashel; and adjoining to his lordship's improvements stands the castle of Clough-leagh, boldly situated on the river Funcheon, which has flood several sieges.
