Doneraile , historically Dunerayl, is a town in County Cork, Ireland. It is on the R581 regional road 8 km east of the N20 road, which runs from Limerick to Cork. It is about 12 km north of Mallow town. It is on the River Awbeg, a branch of the Blackwater.
The town is a small village sitting on the northern slope of Knockacur hill, which rises by a gentle slope from the Awbeg river and gradually ascends to a rocky prominence. However, it was not this rocky prominence but one near the graveyard of Oldcourt which together with an ancient fort built thereon, gave the town its name, Doneraile, i.e. "Dún ar Aill", meaning "the fort on the cliff". The countryside around Doneraile is very scenic and has a wealth of historical associations.
