Cornagunleog

Cornagunleog (from Irish: Cor na gCoinnleóg, meaning "The Round Hill of the Crop Stubbles") 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.

Cornagunleog is bounded on the north by Stranadarragh townland, on the west by Ballymagirril and Greagh townlands, on the south by Knocks and Glebe townlands in County Leitrim and on the east by Boley townland. Its chief geographical features are a stream, a wood and dug wells.

Cornagunleog is traversed by minor roads and rural lanes.

The townland covers 183 statute acres.

Until the late 18th century Cornagunleog formed part of the modern townland of Stranadarragh so its history is the same until then.

The Tithe Applotment Books for 1827 list sixteen tithepayers in the townland.

Griffith's Valuation of 1857 lists twelve landholders in the townland.

On 6 July 1857 the Incumbered Estates Commission published the following notice-

In the Matter of the Estate of James Brien, Geo. Brien, Edward Brien and Francis Brien, Owners. Exparte by Isabella Crummer, Petitioner.
