Tullyveela

Tullyveela (from Irish Tulaigh an Mhíle, meaning 'The Mile Hill') is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland.

[3] 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.

When the cavalry were coming to Crocán na gCamps they had a row and fought a battle.

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.

[6][7][8] The Ordnance Survey Name Books for 1836 give the following description of the townland- The soil is light and produces bad crops of oats, potatoes etc.

[12] In 1851 the population of the townland was 93, being 43 males and 50 females, the reduction being due to the Great Famine (Ireland).
