Munlough North

Munlough North (from Irish: Móinloch Uachtar meaning 'the Bog Lake, Upper’) 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. It is named Munlough North to distinguish it from the neighbouring townland of Munlough South.

Munlough North is bounded on the north by Corneen townland, on the west by Killywaum and Kilsallagh townlands, on the south by Keenagh, Templeport and Munlough South townlands and on the east by Clontycarnaghan and Urhannagh townlands. Its chief geographical features are mountain streams and dug wells.

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

The townland covers 105 statute acres.

The 1609 Baronial Map depicts the townland as Mallowetra.
