Greaghacholea

Greaghacholea (Irish derived place name, Gréach an Chuaille meaning 'The Moorland of the Tall Leafless Tree'.

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

The townland is also known as Coraghmuck (Irish derived place name, Currach Muc meaning The Moorland of the Pigs).

Owen was worried that his lands would be confiscated under the Plantation of Ulster so he made representations to the Lords of the Council in Whitehall, London.

Recommend to his favourable consideration in the settlement of the natives, the bearer, Owen Carnan, who sued for 800 acres of land lying in the county of Cavan, which have belonged (as he informs them) to his father, uncle, & others his predecessors, time out of mind, without any attainder for matter of disloyalty.

[6] Owen McKiernan was only partly successful in his claim as in the Plantation of Ulster, by grant dated 4 June 1611, King James VI and I granted 100 acres or 2 poles (a poll is the local name for townland) of land in Tullyhunco at an annual rent of £1 1s.
