Kilsob

Kilsob (from Irish: Coill Subh meaning "Wood of the Berries") 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.

Kilsob is bounded on the north by Erraran and Bawnboy townlands, on the west by Newtown, Lakefield and Mullaghmore, Templeport townlands, on the south by Kildoagh townland and on the east by Muinaghan and Corrasmongan townlands. The town of Bawnboy is partly situate in the north part of the townland and was sometimes referred to as Kilsob, rather than Bawnboy, in the past. Its chief geographical features are Bellaboy Lough, the Bawnboy River, a stone quarry and dug wells.

Kilsob is traversed by the national secondary N87 road (Ireland), minor roads and rural lanes.

The townland covers 348 statute acres.

A subdivision of the townland is named Rossilk or Ruserk.

The 1609 Baronial Map depicts the townland as Kilsobb.

In the Plantation of Ulster by grant dated 26 June 1615, King James VI and I granted, inter alia, four polls in Killsobb to Sir George Graeme and Sir Richard Graeme to form part of the Manor of Greame. An Inquisition held at Cavan Town on 31st October 1627 found that Sir Richard Greames of Corrasmongan died on 7 November 1625 seized of, inter alia, four polls in Kilsob. His son and heir Thomas Greames was aged 40 (born 1585) and married. After the Cromwellian Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652 the Graham family were still in possession of Kilsob.
