Gortaclogher

Gortaclogher (from Irish: Gort an Chlochair, meaning "The Small Field of the Stony Path") 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.

Gortaclogher is bounded on the north by Gowlagh South, Cloncurkney and Corboy Glebe townlands, on the west by Boley and Killyran townlands, on the south by Killywillin townland and on the east by Killymoriarty and Ray, Templeport townlands. Its chief geographical features are Templeport Lough, Killywillin Lough, Gortaclogher Lough, the River Blackwater, County Cavan, a wood and dug wells.

Gortaclogher is traversed by minor roads,rural lanes and the disused Cavan and Leitrim Railway.

The townland covers 253 statute acres.

The 1609 Baronial Map depicts the townland as Errenagh (from Irish: Airchinnech meaning "The Erenagh's Land").

The 1665 Down Survey map depicts it as Gortlogher.

William Petty's 1685 map depicts it as Gortlogher.

In the Plantation of Ulster by grant dated 29 April 1611, along with other lands, King James VI and I granted one poll of Errenagh to the McGovern Chief, Phelim Magawran, but it is probable that the lands had been in the possession of the McGovern clan for several hundred years before this and it was just a Surrender and regrant confirming the existing title to the McGoverns.
