Porturlan

Porturlan (from Irish: either Port Úrlainn meaning 'Bank or Landing Place of the Spear-shaft' or Port Turlainn meaning "Port of the Beach" or Port-na-h-Urlaidhe-h-Innsi meaning "The slaughter-bank of the island") (Likeliest meaning is the departure beach for St. Mogue's Island in Templeport Lough) 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.

Porturlan is bounded on the north by Ray, Templeport townland, on the west by Killymoriarty and Killywillin townlands, on the south by Derryragh townland and on the east by Camagh and Rosehill, Templeport townlands. Its chief geographical features are a spring well and pasturelands. Porturlan is traversed by the regional R205 road (Ireland), minor roads and rural lanes.

The townland covers 68 statute acres.

In medieval times Porturlan stretched northward up to Templeport Lough and included the modern townland of Ray, together with other subdivisions called Killcroghan (from Irish: either Cill Cruachán or Coill Cruachán meaning 'The Wood of the Round Hill' or "The Church of the Round Hill") and Alico.

The 1609 Baronial Map depicts the townland as Kilcrooghan.

The 1665 Down Survey map depicts it as Killerachan.

William Petty's 1685 map depicts it as Killraran.

In the Plantation of Ulster by grant dated 29 April 1611, along with other lands, King James VI and I granted the two polls of Killcroghan and one poll of Porturilinchy 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.
