Tullynaconspod

Tullynaconspod (from Irish Tulaigh na Conspóide, meaning 'The Disputed Hill' or the 'Hill of the Controversy') is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland.

Its chief geographical features are mountain streams, gravel pits and dug wells.

[2] In earlier times the townland was probably uninhabited as it consists mainly of bog and poor clay soils.

It was not seized by the English during the Plantation of Ulster in 1610 or in the Cromwellian Settlement of the 1660s so some dispossessed Irish families moved there and began to clear and farm the land.

The 1930s Dúchas Folklore collection states- A battle was fought in Crocán na gCamps, Derryconnessy, Corlough.

One night there was a fight in Conspud and a man heard a voice calling him by his Christian name, that a neighbour's house was on fire.

[4][5][6] The Ordnance Survey Name Books for 1836 give the following description of the townland- The soil is intermixed with lime and freestone...There is no county cess levied on this townland as it is considered only a track of mountain.

[8] In 1851 the population of the townland was 25, being 17 males and 8 females, the reduction being due to the Great Famine (Ireland).
