Corboy Glebe

Corboy Glebe (from Irish: Corr Buí meaning 'The Smooth Yellow Hill (of the Glebe)') 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.

Corboy Glebe is bounded on the north by Kildoagh townland, on the west by Cloncurkney townland, on the south by Gortaclogher townland and on the east by Port, Templeport townland. Its chief geographical features are Bellaboy Lough, Templeport Lough, a wood, streams and a sandpit. There are also three exceptional specimen trees in the townland- a Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) [7]; a Beech (Fagus Sylvatica) [8] and a Lime (Tilia × europaea) [9].

Corboy Glebe is traversed by minor public roads and rural lanes.

The townland covers 145 statute acres.

The 1609 Baronial Map depicts the townland as Corboy.

The 1665 Down Survey map depicts it as Cockboy.

William Petty's 1685 map depicts it as Corkboy.

Corboy Glebe formed part of the termon or hospital lands belonging to Templeport Church and so its history belongs to the ecclesiastical history of the parish. It would have belonged to the parish priest and the erenach family rather than the McGovern chief. In the 16th century these ecclesiastical lands in Templeport were seized in the course of the Reformation in Ireland and kept first by the English monarch and then eventually granted to the Anglican Bishop of Kilmore.
