Get ready to battle it out for a large self-contained holding in Knockardfree

A large self-contained holding in one block of level pasture land in north Cork. It’s not often that you can talk about such an exciting prospect being presented to the market but such is the case with a farm newly listed with Macroom-based Killian Lynch Auctioneers.

This residential farm is 8km from Liscarroll village in the townland of Knockardfree. Liscarroll was once an important base of the powerful Geraldine/FitzGerald dynasty and the huge Hiberno-Norman fortress (Liscarroll Castle) that still dominates the village bears witness to this.

It was here that a defining battle took place in 1642 between the defending Irish confederates and a smaller force of English troops and Protestant militia.
