Urhannagh (from Irish Uaránach, meaning 'Abounding in wells or cold springs') is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland.

[1] In medieval times the McGovern barony of Tullyhaw was divided into economic taxation areas called ballibetoes, from the Irish Baile Biataigh (Anglicized as Ballybetagh), meaning 'A Provisioner's Town or Settlement'.

The original purpose was to enable the farmer, who controlled the baile, to provide hospitality for those who needed it, such as poor people and travellers.

The original Irish is Baile Tulach, meaning 'The Town of the Hillock') The 1609 Ulster Plantation Baronial Map depicts the townland as Doorawnagh.

[5] From medieval times until 1606, the townland formed part of the lands owned by the McGovern (name) clan.

Richard Tyrrell of Tyrrellspass, County Westmeath, purchased the townland circa 1606 from Cormack McGovern, who was probably the son of Tomas Óg mac Brian Mág Samhradháin, who reigned as chief of the McGovern clan from 1584.

An Inquisition held in Cavan on 20 September 1630 found that James Talbot was seized of one poll of Dowerhannagh, along with other lands.

He became a merchant in Dorchester, Dorset but fled to France in 1633 when facing a warrant from the Exchequer for not paying customs.

[10] He had four sons: John, Thomas, Ambrose and William (who became a Major) and two daughters, Mary and Frances.
