Cloncollow

Cloncollow (Irish: Cluain Colbhaigh, IPA: [ˌklˠuənʲ ˈkɔlˠəwiː]) is a townland in the Parish of Tomregan, Barony of Loughtee Lower, County Cavan, Ireland.

The townland name is an anglicisation of the Gaelic placename Cluain Colbhaigh which means 'Calva's Meadow'.

The oldest surviving mention of the name is in the 1790 Cavan Carvaghs list which spells the name as Cloncallow.

By a lease dated 6 April 1612 the said bishop granted the lands to Sir Oliver Lambart of Kilbeggan, County Westmeath and Sir Garret Moore, 1st Viscount Moore of Mellifont, County Louth.
