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 an array of new 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.
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.
