Rockfield Lake, also known as Rockfield Lough, is a lake or lough situated between Carrigallen and Killeshandra, two small towns on the northern edge of the Midlands in Ireland. Nowadays, part of the lake is in County Leitrim, which is part of the Province of Connacht, while most of the lake is in County Cavan, which is part of the Province of Ulster. This means that the provincial boundary between Connacht and Ulster now runs through the lough. However, up until the early seventeenth century, all of the lake was considered part of County Leitrim in Connacht. The Cullies River flows through Rockfield Lake, entering the lake at its southern end and flowing out of the lake at its north-western end. This small river flows from nearby Cullies Lake, and flows on, via Drumhart Lake, through Rockfield Lake to Glasshouse Lake.
