The townland covers 166 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. Killycrin 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'). On 12 November 1590 Queen Elizabeth I of England granted a pardon (No. 5489) to Patrick O Doylane, husbandman of Killecrynn for fighting against the Queen's forces. The 1609 Ulster Plantation Baronial Map depicts the townland as Kilcrine. In the Plantation of Ulster Killycrin was granted to the Graham family of Scotland. By grant dated 26 June 1615, King James VI and I granted, inter alia, one poll in Killchrine to Sir George Graeme and Sir Richard Graeme to form part of the Manor of Greame. An Inquisition held at Cavan Town on 31 October 1627 found that Sir Richard Greames of Corrasmongan died on 7 November 1625 seized of, inter alia, one poll in Kilkryne. His son and heir Thomas Greames was aged 40 (born 1585) and married. The Grahams fought on the Irish side during
