Garvary (Corlough)

Garvary (from Irish Garbhaire, meaning 'The Rough Land') is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland.

It lies in the Roman Catholic parish of Corlough and barony of Tullyhaw.

[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.

[8] In 1851 the population of the townland was 49, being 21 males and 28 females, the reduction being due to the Great Famine (Ireland).
