Lecharrownahone

Lecharrownahone (from Irish: Leathcheathrú na hAbhann, meaning 'The half-quarterland of the river' - Local pronunciation is 'Lahernahone') 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.
