Tullynamoltra

Tullynamoltra (from Irish Tulaigh na Molltrach, meaning 'The Hill of the Heaps') is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland.

[1] The local pronunciation is tully-na-MOIL-tra.Tullynamoltra is surrounded by townlands; on the north by Altinure, to the west by Altachullion Upper and Tullyloughfin, to the south by Tullandreen, and on the eastern side by Drumbeagh.

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

This prompted a few dispossessed Irish families to move to the area and begin clearing and farming the land.
