Curraghglass

Curraghglass, an Anglicisation of the Gaelic, ‘Currach Glas’ meaning The Green Moor, is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland.

Its chief geographical features are the Owenmore River (County Cavan), mountain streams, waterfalls, gravel pits and spring wells.

[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.

[5] The 1836 Ordnance survey Name books state- The soil is of a light blue gravelly nature...two ancient forts, one near the south end and the other near the center of the townland.
