Muinaghan

Muinaghan (from Irish: Muineachán meaning 'A Shrubbery' - Local pronunciation is 'Meenaghan') 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.

Muinaghan is bounded on the north by Corrasmongan and Killycrin townlands, on the west by Kilsob townland, on the south by Kildoagh townland and on the east by Port, Templeport and Kilsallagh townlands. Its chief geographical features are the Bawnboy River, spring wells, dug wells and a gravel pit.

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

The townland covers 233 statute acres.

Until the Cromwellian Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652, Muinaghan formed part of the modern townland of Corrasmongan, so its history is the same until then.

The 1665 Down Survey map depicts it as Drunagh.

William Petty's 1685 map depicts it as Druna.

An 1809 map of ecclesiastical lands in Templeport depicts it as Monaghon.[5]

The 1662 Hearth Money Rolls show no Hearth Tax payers in Muinaghan.

By grant dated 9 September 1669 King Charles II of England gave Arthur Annesley, 1st Earl of Anglesey, inter alia, the lands of Drimagh or Drunagh with an area of 61 acres and 17 perches at an annual rent of £0-16s-5 1/2d.
