Matehy

Matehy (Irish: Maigh Teichigh)[1] is a civil parish in the historical barony of Muskerry East in County Cork, Ireland.[2] The civil parish is centred on a small settlement, also referred to as Matehy, which contains a Roman Catholic church (built c. 1820),[3] a national (primary) school,[4] and pub.[5] Evidence of ancient settlement in the area include ringfort sites in Gilcagh townland, and a circular ecclesiastical enclosure containing the remains of a church (dating to at least the early 17th century) and a number of 18th century gravestones.[6]
