Tullywaum

Tullywaum (from Irish Tulaigh Mháma, meaning 'The Hill of the Mountain Pass') is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland.

Its chief geographical features are a mountain stream, forestry plantations, dug wells and a gravel pit.

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.

A lease dated 17 September 1816 John Enery of Bawnboy includes Tullywaam otherwise Tullywaim.
