Cootehall (Irish: Uachtar Thíre, meaning 'Upper Territory',[3] also Cloigne) is a village in County Roscommon, Ireland.
Cootehall was formerly called Urtaheera, or O'Mulloy's Hall, and was, early in the 17th century, together with the manor attached to it, the property of William, styled "the Great O'Mulloy;" but in the war of 1641 it came into the possession of the English Cromwellian, Chidley Coote, nephew of the first Earl of Mountrath, and from that family took its present name.
Under this disguise, he acquired Clegna on the left bank of the Boyle River which he renamed Cootehall and here built the finest standing example of English Colonial Architecture in the north of the county.
The piper Turlough O'Carolan is recorded as having visited the house and composed tunes for the occupants.
