Sean Ruad's Townland database finds TWO Gorteens in Cavan county. Both in the Barony of Tullyhaw. One is in the Parish of Templeport, the other in Kinawley. Both in the Poor Law Union of Bawnboy. There were more than a dozen counties in Ireland with "Gorteen" as a town or farmland name. The smallest was a mere 27 acres in county Limerick. These 2 in Cavan were just over 100 acres each.

Interesting, Meg. When I looked for Gorteen, I just used GoogleMaps, and it brought be to a crossroad in Killeshandra, near Ballintemple. After seeing your note, I went to Griffiths at failteromhat.com and searched on Farrelly in Gorteen in Cavan (not assuming anything, just curious), and it displayed 4 Farrelly's in Gorteen or Gorteenagarry in the Parish of Kildallan. That sent me back to seanruad, where I searched on townlands beginning with Gorteen, and wouldn't you know, there are 2 other aka:Gorteen's in Cavan - one in Kildallan and one in Killashandra. (When I did my Griffith's search btw, I did not specify county. There was also a Farrelly in Gorteen in the Parish of Cloone in Co Leitrim.)
