Ardfield (Irish: Ard Ó bhFicheallaigh, meaning "Height of the Feelys"), historically Ardofoyle,[1] is a small village and civil parish on the south-west coast of County Cork, Ireland. It lies 8 kilometres south of Clonakilty and 11 kilometres east of Rosscarbery, near Galley Head. Ardfield's Roman Catholic church dates to 1832 and is within the ecclesiastical parish of Ardfield/Rathbarry.[2][3]
