Crossbarry
The Crossbarry Ambush (Irish: Luíochán Chrois an Bharraigh) occurred on 19 March 1921 and was one of the largest engagements of the Irish War of Independence. It took place at the rural crossroads of Crossbarry, County Cork, around 20km south west of Cork city. About 100 Irish Republican Army (IRA) volunteers escaped an attempt by over 1,300 British forces to encircle them. During the hour-long battle, between 10–30 British troops and three to six IRA volunteers were killed.
