Corranierna (Corlough)

Corranierna (from Irish Corr an Iarna, meaning 'The Hill of the Hank or Skein of Thread') is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland.

[2] In earlier times the townland was probably uninhabited as it consists mainly of bog and poor clay soils.

It was not seized by the English during the Plantation of Ulster in 1610 or in the Cromwellian Settlement of the 1660s so some dispossessed Irish families moved there and began to clear and farm the land.

[3] The Ordnance Survey Name Books for 1836 give the following description of the townland- The soil is of a light boggy nature...The townland is bounded on the north by a large stream.

[6] In 1851 the population of the townland was 4, being 3 males and 1 females, the reduction being due to the Great Famine (Ireland).
