Ture, Drumlane

Ture is a townland in the civil parish of Drumlane, Barony of Loughtee Lower, County Cavan, Ireland.

The earliest surviving mention of the townland is on the 1609 Ulster Plantation map of the Barony of Loughtee, where it is spelled Anture.

Its chief geographical features are Killywilly Lough,[7] Clonamullig Lough,[8] which lakes contain a wide variety of coarse fish, a small rivulet, woods & plantations and drumlin hills which reach a height of 234 feet above sea-level.

An Ulster Plantation grant of the 'Manor of Monaghan', dated 21 June 1610, from King James VI and I to Sir Hugh Wyrral, a native of Enfield, Essex, England, included one poll of Anture.

On 30 April 1661 the Richardsons sold part of the estate, including one poll of Anture, to Captain Ambrose Bedell of Carn, Tullyhunco, County Cavan.

[12] The Tithe Applotment Books for 1833 list four tithepayers in the townland: Montgomery, Storey, Patterson and Jones.

[14][15] Griffith's Valuation of 1857 lists three occupiers in the townland: Reilly, Storey and Berry.

[16] The 19th century land occupation history is set out in the 1880 court case, 'Montgomery versus Storey'.
