Tullytrasna

Tullytrasna (from Irish Tulaigh Thrasna, meaning 'The Cross Hill') is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland.

Its chief geographical features a mountain stream, forestry plantations and spring wells.

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.

Before the Ordnance Survey it comprised three different townlands Tullytrasna, Cornamucklagh (Irish Corr na Muclach, meaning ‘The Round Hill of the Piggeries’), alias Cornamuck (Irish Corr na Muc, meaning ‘The Round Hill of the Pigs’) and Tullyteskin, alias Tullyteskill.

[4][5] A lease dated 17 September 1816 John Enery of Bawnboy includes Tullyteskin, otherwise Tullyteskill, Tullytrasna and Cornamuck.

[7][8][9] The Ordnance Survey Name Books for 1836 give the following description of the townland- The townland is bounded by a large mountain stream on the south side.
