==Geography== Cornagran is bounded on the north by Stumpys Hill townland in Co. Fermanagh, on the south by [[Hawkswood]] townland, on the west by [[Cloghoge]] townland and on the east by Coragh, Co. Fermanagh, and [[Drumconra (or Lowforge)]] townlands. Its chief geographical features are a forestry plantation, mountain streams and dug wells. Cornagran is traversed by the national secondary [[N87 road (Ireland)]], the Old Coach Road, minor public roads and rural lanes. The townland covers 90 statute acres.<ref name="IreAtlas"/>

The 1609 Baronial Map depicts the ballybetagh as ''Naclone''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/mpf1-58.pdf|title=National Archives Dublin|accessdate=11 April 2024}}</ref>
