Clontead Beg

Clontead Beg (from Irish Cluain Téide Bheag)[1] is a townland within the civil parish of Magourney and Catholic parish of Aghabullogue, County Cork, Ireland.

It is approximately 229 acres in size, and east of Coachford village.

The Ordnance Survey name book (c. 1840) describes the western end of the townland as forming the village of Coachford and the eastern end the 'Derreen Demesne'.

O'Murchú (1991) gives an Irish version of Cluain Téide, suggesting 'Téide' as meaning a plateau, or a plain on a hill; essentially 'plain of the flat-topped hill'.

[4] The Placenames Database of Ireland gives the townland an Irish name of Cluain Téide Bheag, with 'Cluain' meaning 'meadow' or 'pasture'.
