Finaghoo (Irish derived place name Fionn Achadh, meaning 'The White Field’) is a townland in the civil parish of Kinawley, barony of Tullyhaw, County Cavan, Ireland. Geography Finaghoo is bounded on the west by Gub (Kinawley) and Moherreagh townlands and on the east by Cullion (Kinawley), Mullaghlea and Mullanacre Upper townlands. It forms part of the Slieve Rushen Bog Natural Heritage Area. Its chief geographical features are Slieve Rushen mountain on whose western slope it lies, reaching a height of 1,238 feet; the Meenymore Formation, in the stream between Finaghoo and Moherreagh townlands a continuous succession of the highest part of the formation is exposed; Polldoo pothole (from Irish: Poll Dubh meaning ‘The Black Hole'). The 1938 Dúchas folklore collection states- A noise up in Pullamagulm is a sure sign of lots of rain; mountain streams; waterfalls; forestry plantations and dug wells. Finaghoo is traversed by minor public roads and rural lanes. The townland covers 283 statute acres. History In medieval times Finaghoo was owned by the McGovern Clan and formed part of a ballybetagh spelled (variously) Aghycloony, Aghcloone, Nacloone, Naclone and Noclone (Irish derived place name Áth Chluain, meaning the ‘Ford of the Meadow’). The 1609 Baronial Map depicts the ballybetagh as Naclone. In the Plantation of Ulster by grant dated 26 June 1615, King James VI and I granted, inter alia, The precinct or parcel of Nacloone otherwise Aghcloone to Sir George Graeme and Sir Richard Graeme to form part of the Manor of Greame. A history of Richard and George Graham is viewable online. The Grahams took part in the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and after the war their lands were confiscated under the Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652. The Tithe Applotment Books 1834 spell the name as Finagho. The 1836 Ordnance Survey Namebooks state- the soil is bad, being reclaimed mountain and the crops very poor.
