Carrignafoy (Irish: Currach an Eich Bhuí) is a townland on the Great Island in Cork Harbour, Ireland.[1] It extends from the peripheries of Cobh town centre to the countryside areas which lead into Cuskinny and Ballymore. It contains a number of housing estates, and five schools are located in this area. A leisure centre was opened in 2006 on the site of the old swimming pool in Carrignafoy.[citation needed]
The area includes 'Top of the Hill', a hillside area close to Cobh town centre, which is a centre for commercial and leisure activities in Cobh.[citation needed]
