In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Freemount like this:
FREEMOUNT, a village, in the parish of KNOCKTEMPLE, barony of DUHALLOW, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 5 miles (N. by E.) from Kanturk, on the road from Liscarrol to Newcastle: the population is returned with the parish. It is a constabulary police station, and contains the chapel which gives name to the R. C. district, a plain cruciform building, to which is attached a public school.—See KNOCKTEMPLE.
