Lannanerriagh

Lannanerriagh (from Irish Lann na nAiríoch, meaning 'The Hut of the Herdsmen') is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland.

[2] A sub-division in the upper part of the townland is called Crickeen (Cnoc Ín = The Little Hill).

A local poet in the 1860s, Dr. Curran, wrote- Crickeen was a freehold in the time of Adam's race/ for the Peelers and Mollies each other to chase.

The 1652 Commonwealth Survey depicts the townland as Laneneriagh with the proprietor being Lieutenant-Colonel Tristram Beresford.

To his grandnephew Lowther Brien, city of Dublin, attorney, and his heirs his lands of Awengallis, Ballylenan, Ballymagirill, Stranadarragh, Carnagimlie, Cullagh, Drumleden, Leitry [Leitra], Corlagh, Lananleragh [Lannanerriagh], Gowlanlea and Drumlogher, Co. Cavan, held under lease from the Beresford family.

Memorial witnessed by: said Andrew Rutledge, and John Balfour, city of Dublin, attorney.

[8] The Ordnance Survey Namebooks for 1836 state- This townland pays no county cess nor tithe, being considered a tract of mountain.

[13] In 1851 the population of the townland was 127 being 62 males and 65 females, the reduction being due to the Great Famine (Ireland).
