a small village of Ireland, in the parish of Garrycloyne, county of Cork, and 3½ miles N.W. of the town of that name. It is pleasantly situated on a small rivulet of the same name, and is chiefly celebrated as giving name to that peculiar kind of eloquence supposed to be so characteristic of the natives of Ireland. The "Blarney Stone," the kissing of which is said to confer this faculty, is pointed out at the top of the castle; but the real stone, with the founder's name upon it, is said to be on the northern angle of the castle, about twenty feet from the top.
