What is recorded here
Millwater crossroads in County Cork holds a stone chair carved for an Irish chieftain. The legend Briseadh Ceann tSaile and The Battle of Kinsale still appear on its surface. The chair faces the old ford and mill road, waiting for pride that may need breaking.
An Irish chieftain’s stone chair bearing the legend ‘Briseadh Ceann tSaile’ ‘The Battle of Kinsale’ stands at Millwater crossroads, once a strategic ford crossing at a mill complex on the road to Bandon about two miles from Kinsale
A local skirmish between Irish forces and English troops occurred around 1601 near Millwater crossroads, likely during the lead-up to the Battle of Kinsale; the stone commemorates the engagement, reflecting the strategic importance of the area during the Nine Years' War.
