==History==

In medieval times Corranearty 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''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/mpf1-58.pdf|title=National Archives Dublin|accessdate=21 August 2023}}</ref>

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''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XD5JAAAAcAAJ&dq=dromkaske&pg=PA310|title = Calendar of the Patent Rolls of the Chancery of Ireland|last1 = Chancery|first1 = Ireland|year = 1800}}</ref> 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]].
