Tullycorbet

Tullycorbet is a civil parish in the centre of County Monaghan, Ireland north of the town of Ballybay,[1] in the north of the Ballybay-Clones Municipal District and immediately south of the boundary to the Monaghan Municipal District.

Tullycorbet, which means "The Hill of the Chariot" (Tulach-Carbait) was named after the steep hill at Terrygeely (Tír Mhic Caollaí), where St. Patrick’s chariot allegedly broke down on his journey through the kingdom of Oriel.

[2] It was probably on the same hill that the first church was built, on the site of a ringed fort.

The Reverend Morgan Jellett was the Church of Ireland rector here in the 1820s.
