Dunderrow [2] is a small village in County Cork, Ireland located on the R605 road between Innishannon and Kinsale. Dún Darú, anglicised as Dunderrow, means the fort of the oak-plain, with the site of the fort (dún) for which it is named located to the south of the village.[3]
Dunderrow National School, in the centre of the village, was built in 2000 to replace an earlier 19th century building.[4] To the east of the village is Dunderrow cemetery, formerly the site of a 19th-century Church of Ireland church (no longer standing).[5] [6]
An Eli Lilly facility is situated near Dunderrow on 112 acres of land. It commenced operations in 1981.[7]
