Clontycarnaghan (from Irish: Cluainte Chearnacháin meaning "Kernaghan’s Meadows") is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland. It lies in the Roman Catholic parish of Templeport and barony of Tullyhaw.

Its chief geographical features are Slieve Rushen mountain on whose southern slope it lies, the Crooked River (Ireland), waterfalls, mountain bogs, forestry plantations, spring wells and dug wells. It forms part of the Slieve Rushen Bog Natural Heritage Area [4]
