Etymology

The name of Corlough parish has an unclear derivation. Some references propose it means either 'the hill of the lake' or "the lake of the herons". These are unlikely meanings as there is no lake in the townland. The earliest reference to the townland is in the 1790 list of Cavan townlands where it is spelled "Corclagh", which would be an Anglicization of "Cor Cloch", meaning either 'the stone on the round hill' or "the stony hill".[ citation needed ]

Corlough townland, within Corlough parish, is recoded in the Placenames Database of Ireland as Corlach, meaning "hilly place". [1]
