Geography


Callaghs is bounded on the east by Clontygrigny and Mullaghmore, Tullyhunco townlands, on the west by Coologe and Kiltynaskellan townlands and on the north by Killarah townland. Its chief geographical features are the Shannon-Erne Waterway, Dumb Lough, small streams, quarries, sandpits, dug wells and forestry plantations. Callaghs is traversed by minor public roads and rural lanes. The townland covers 336 acres, including 2 acres of water.[2]



History


From medieval times up to the early 1600s, the land belonged to the McKiernan Clan.


Until the 18th century Callaghs formed part of Aghaweenagh townland and its history is the same until then.


From the 18th century, Callaghs formed part of the Thornton estate of Greenville, County Cavan. The estate papers are now in Cavan Archives Service and those papers mentioning Callaghs are at reference numbers P016/005; P016/016 and P016/018.[3]


The 1790 Cavan Carvaghs list spells the name as Caldragh.[4]


The 1825 Tithe Applotment Books list three tithepayers in the townland.[5]


Griffith's Valuation of 1857 lists ten landholders in the townland.[6]


In 1863 Aghaweenagh was sold by the Thornton Estate to Lord Charles Beresford.[7] On 5 July 1870 Beresford sold the townland. Aghaweenagh was described in the sale advert as- LOT No. 1. This Lot comprises the Townland of Callaghs held in fee containing 335 acres and 37 perches statute measure. The Lands are mostly arable and pasture. On this Lot are very valuable Turf Bogs in occupation of owner. The County road from Carrigallen to Ballyconnell Intersects these lands.[8]
