Corrasmongan

Corrasmongan (from Irish: Corr Easa Mongáin meaning 'The Smooth Hill of Mongan's Waterfall') 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.

Corrasmongan is bounded on the north by Bawnboy and Ballynamaddoo townlands, on the west by Kilsob townland, on the south by Muinaghan townland and on the east by Killycrin townland. Its chief geographical features are a wood, a stream and a dug well.

Corrasmongan is traversed by the regional N87 road (Ireland), minor roads and rural lanes.

The townland covers 117 statute acres.

Until the Cromwellian Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652, the modern townlands of Bawnboy, Muinaghan and Ballynamaddoo formed part of Corrasmongan, which also had a sub-division named Aghamoynagh (from Irish: Achadh Magh nEach meaning 'The Field of the Horseplain')

On 12 November 1590 Queen Elizabeth I of England granted pardons (No. 5489) to Tiernan O' Doylane of Corresmongan, horsekeeper; Edmond O'Doylan of Aghamoynaghe, cottier; Con O'Doylane of Aghamoynaghe, horsekeeper; Ferdorogh O'Doylane of Aghamoynaghe, husbandman; Brene O'Doylane M'Rowry of Aghamoynaghe, cottier and Patrick M'Echie of Aghamoynaghe, horsekeeper for fighting against the Queen's forces.

The 1609 Baronial Map depicts the townland as Cornesimongan.
