Coshmore and Coshbride (Irish: Cois Abha Móire agus Cois Bhríde[1]) is a barony in County Waterford, Ireland.[2]
Etymology
[edit]Coshmore is derived from Irish Cois Abha Móire, "bank of the Great River", referring to the Munster Blackwater. Coshbride means "banks of the Bride", referring to the River Bride.[3]
Geography
[edit]Coshmore and Coshbride is located in western County Waterford, to the south of the Knockmealdown Mountains and the River Araglin.
History
[edit]The region is the site of the ancient Lismore Cathedral, and was historically the property of the Fitzgerald Earls of Desmond.[4] The Aherns, Barrys, Keanes, Tobins and Walshes were also landowning families.[5]
Coshmore and Coshbride were separate baronies in 1821, but had been united by 1831.
The barony gave its name to the Coshmore and Coshbride Hunt.[6]
