Mormeal (locally [ˌmɔrˈmeːl] and [ˌmɔrˈmiːl], from Irish Mír Mhíchíl 'Michael's portion'[2]) is a townland lying within the civil parish of Kilcronaghan, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
[3] The actual Irish origin of Mormeal is unknown with several different variants provided, most notably by Alfred Munn Moore.
The most recent translation as of 2002 states its origin as being; Mír Mhíchíl, meaning Michael's portion.
Prior to the Plantation of Ulster, these four townlands constituted the termon (or erenagh) land of the parish, and were known as "Ballintrolla, Derreskerdan, Dirrygrinagh et Kellynahawla".
[6] The ruins of the ancient parish church of Kilcronaghan lie within the townland of Mormeal.
