Gorteen (Gorteenagarry)

[1]) is a townland in the civil parish of Kildallan, barony of Tullyhunco, County Cavan, Ireland.

It is also called Gorteenagarry (Irish derived place name, Goirtín an Gharraí meaning 'The Little Field of the Garden').

Its chief geographical features are small streams, spring wells and a forestry plantation.

[4] On 29 July 1611 Arthur Chichester, 1st Baron Chichester and others reported that - Sir Alexander Hamilton, Knt, 2,000 acres in the county of Cavan; has not appeared: his son Claud took possession, and brought three servants and six artificers; is in hand with building a mill; trees felled; raised stones and hath competitent arms in readiness.

Besides there are arrived upon that portion since our return to Dublin from the journey, as we are informed, twelve tenants and artificers who intend to reside there and build upon the same.

[5] An Inquisition held at Cavan on 10 June 1629 stated that the poll of Gortinagary contained three sub-divisions named Gortinreaghe, Atibrian and Knockilivaine.
