Crossbarry or Crosbarry[1][2] (Irish: Crois an Bharraigh)[3] is a small village on the R589 Regional Road in the Innishannon parish, about fourteen miles west of Cork City, Ireland. There is a mill overlooking the local shop. There is one pub in the village The Crossbarry Inn. The River Owenabue flows through the village. The West Cork Railway once ran through the village, and a station there served as a connection to Kinsale. The Crossbarry Ambush took place at the village during the War of Independence. A former principal of Gurrane Richard Barrett is closely associated with the area. Nearby is the Charlie Hurley Memorial.
Crossbarry is currently undergoing much development and growth, with new modern homes and businesses thriving. It has two schools close by : Gurrane National School - sometimes called Gurranes - and Knockavilla National School as well as numerous Creche, childcare and playschool facilities.
