The Rathcormac massacre or Gortroe massacre was an affray during the Tithe War in Ireland, which took place on 18 December 1834 in County Cork, by Bluebell hill in the civil parish of Gortroe. The incident took place near the village of Bartlemy outside Rathcormac, where between twelve and twenty protesting locals were killed by soldiers enforcing the collection of tithes. This was caused due to the widow Johanna Ryan not paying her tithes. The locals were outraged and threw piles and stones towards the British soldiers, who fired on the crowd.
