Cormeenとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Cormeen is a townland in the Parish of Kildallan, Barony of Tullyhunco, County Cavan, Ireland. The townland name is an anglicisation of the Gaelic placename “Cor Mín” which means ‘Smooth Hill’. The earliest surviving mention of the townland is on the 1609 Ulster Plantation map of the Barony of Loughtee, where it is spelled ‘Corume’. In the 1655 Down Survey map it is spelled “Cormeen”. It is bounded on the north by Lecharrownahone townland, on the east by Agharaskilly townland, on the south by Killarah townland and on the west by Crossmakelagher townland. One would expect Cormeen to belong to Templeport parish and Tullyhaw barony as do the other surrounding townlands which lie on the west bank of the Shannon-Erne Waterway. However at the time of the fixing of parish and barony boundaries, the river ran along the northern boundary of the townland which would have placed Cormeen to the east of the river which was later diverted along the southern boundary, placing Cormeen on the west bank. Its chief geographical features are the Shannon-Erne Waterway which flows north along its southern and eastern boundaries, and several small drumlin hills reaching to an altitude of 265 feet above sea-level.
