Crossbarry (Irish: Crois an Bharraigh)[2] is a small village on the R589 regional road in Innishannon parish, County Cork, Ireland. It is about 20 km southwest of the city of Cork. The River Owenabue flows through the village. The West Cork Railway once ran through the village, and Junction railway station served as a connection to Kinsale, just to the east.[3] The Crossbarry ambush took place at the village during the Irish War of Independence.
