Geography Corrasmongan is bounded on the north by Bawnboy and Ballynamaddoo townlands, on the west by Kilsob townland, on the south by Muinaghan townland and on the east by Killycrin townland. Its chief geographical features are a wood, a stream and a dug well. Corrasmongan is traversed by the regional N87 road (Ireland), minor roads and rural lanes. The townland covers 117 statute acres. History In medieval times the McGovern barony of Tullyhaw was divided into economic taxation areas called ballibetoes, from the Irish Baile Biataigh (Anglicized as 'Ballybetagh'), meaning 'A Provisioner's Town or Settlement'. The original purpose was to enable the farmer, who controlled the baile, to provide hospitality for those who needed it, such as poor people and travellers. The ballybetagh was further divided into townlands farmed by individual families who paid a tribute or tax to the head of the ballybetagh, who in turn paid a similar tribute to the clan chief. The steward of the ballybetagh would have been the secular equivalent of the erenagh in charge of church lands. There were seven ballibetoes in the parish of Templeport. Corrasmongan was located in the ballybetagh of "Balleagheboynagh" (alias 'Ballyoghnemoynagh'). The original Irish is Baile Na Muighe Eanach, meaning 'The Town of the Marshy Plain'). The ballybetagh was also called "Aghawenagh", the original Irish is Achadh an Bhuí Eanaigh, meaning 'The Field of the Yellow Bog'). Until the Cromwellian Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652, the modern townlands of Bawnboy, Muinaghan and Ballynamaddoo formed part of Corrasmongan, which also had a sub-division named Aghamoynagh () On 12 November 1590 Queen Elizabeth I of England granted pardons (No. 5489) to Tiernan O' Doylane of Corresmongan, horsekeeper; Edmond O'Doylan of Aghamoynaghe, cottier; Con O'Doylane of Aghamoynaghe, horsekeeper; Ferdorogh O'Doylane of Aghamoynaghe, husbandman; Brene O'Doylane M'Rowry of Aghamoynaghe, cottier and Patrick M'Echie of Aghamoynaghe, horsekeeper for fighting against the Queen's forces.
