Loughtee Lower (Irish: Lucht Tí Íochtarach), or Lower Loughtee, is a barony in County Cavan, Ireland.

[5] Loughtee Lower takes its name from the Irish Lucht Tí, Early Modern Irish lucht tighe Még Mathghamhna (Annals of the Four Masters), "people of the household of Mac Mahon"; presumably the land was allocated to the vassals of the McMahon tribe.

[9] The Ó Faircheallaigh (Farrelly) and MacGaghrans (Magaherans) were ruling Gaelic Irish tribes in the area; they were hereditary coarbs and erenachs of Drumlane Abbey, located near here.

[10] The barony of Loughtee was created by 1609 in the Plantation of Ulster, and was archaically spelled Loughty.

[11] Its alluvial soil was recognised as the best in Cavan, and it was originally allocated to the Crown, then later to undertakers.
