Crosshaven is a village in County Cork, Ireland. It is located in lower Cork Harbour at the mouth of the River Owenabue, across from Currabinny Wood. Originally a fishing village, from the 19th century, the economy of the area became more reliant on a growing tourism industry.
The modern Irish name for Crosshaven village is Bun an Tábhairne. While some sources link the word tábhairne to the English word "tavern", other sources suggest that it is a corruption of "tSabhairne" a grammatical form of the word "Sabhrann" the name of a local river. Bun refers to "river mouth" when in reference to placenames. Therefore the name is potentially translated to "The Mouth of the River Sabhrann". The old Irish name for the east side of the village was Cros tSeáin or "John's cross", from which the English name derives. John's cross refers to the Norman castle built around Castle point.
