Rathcormac massacre, Historical conflict site in Bartlemy Cross, County Cork, Ireland.
The confrontation involved 250 tenant farmers against 100 British soldiers and police officers during a tithe collection operation near Rathcormac.
On December 18, 1834, British forces opened fire on Irish farmers who refused to pay tithes to the Church of Ireland, resulting in multiple casualties.
The incident exemplified the tensions between Irish Catholic farmers and the Protestant Church of Ireland during the period known as the Tithe War.
The location of the massacre is marked near the R639 regional road, which was formerly the main N8 route between Cork and Dublin.
The massacre led to a change in Irish policy requiring proof of danger before military forces could assist in tithe collection operations.
