Buttevant
Buttevant (Cill na Mallach in Irish) is a village in County Cork, Ireland. It is located on the N20 road between Limerick and Cork. The Limerick–Cork railway line passes by the town, but the village's station is now closed.
Buttevant has a long equine tradition; the ancient Cahirmee horse fair is still held here every year. The steeplechase originated in 1752 as a result of a horse race from the steeple of Buttevant Protestant church to that of Doneraile, 7 km away.
