Corranierna

The townland name is an anglicisation of either Cor an Iarna, meaning 'The Hill of the Skein (of thread)’, which derived its name from the weavers who lived there.

As it formed part of Mullaghduff, its history is the same as that townland until the beginning of the 19th century, when it was separated within the Montgomery estate.

[7] The Tithe Applotment Books for 1827 list the following tithepayers in the townland-Garvey, Fitzpatrick, Reilly, McCormick, Grimes.

[9] The 1836 Ordnance Survey Namebooks describe it as- Soil white gravelly clay of middling quality.

[12] A rare surviving page from the 1851 Census of Ireland lists the household of Michael Reilly of Corranierna.
