Kilmichael is a village in the Barony of West Muskerry in County Cork.

An early map (1897-1913) marks Kilmichael P.O. on at the Cooldorragha Cross Roads.

History

The Kilmichael Ambush took place near the village during the Irish War of Independence. The actual fight took place in the townlands of Haremount (Cnocán an Ghiorria in Irish) and Shanacashel (Seanchaiseal).[1] The Kilmichael Ambush site is marked by a monument which is approximately 2 mile (3 km) south of the village.[2]
