GeographyCurraghglass is bounded on the north by Garvalt Lower and Gub (Glangevlin) townlands, on the west by Altshallan, Carrick West and Knockgorm townlands, on the south by Legatraghta and Moneensauran townlands and on the east by Tullynacross townland. Its chief geographical features are the Owenmore River, mountain streams, waterfalls, gravel pits and spring wells. The townland is traversed by minor public roads and rural lanes. The townland covers 175 statute acres.[2] HistoryIn earlier times the townland was probably uninhabited as it consists mainly of bog and poor clay soils. It was not seized by the English during the Plantation of Ulster in 1610 or in the Cromwellian Settlement of the 1660s so some dispossessed Irish families moved there and began to clear and farm the land. The 1790 Cavan Carvaghs list spells the name as Corglass.[1] The Tithe Applotment Books for 1826 list three tithepayers in the townland.[2] The 1836 Ordnance survey Name books state- The soil is of a light blue gravelly nature...two ancient forts, one near the south end and the other near the center of the townland. Griffith's Valuation of 1857 lists fifteen landholders in the townland.[3]Census
In the 1901 census of Ireland, there are six families listed in the townland.[4] In the 1911 census of Ireland, there are five families listed in the townland.[5] Antiquities
