{{About|the townland in the parish of Tomregan||Corranierna (Corlough)}} '''Corranierna''' is a townland in the Parish of Tomregan, Barony of Tullyhaw, County Cavan, Ireland.
==Etymology==
The townland name is an anglicisation of either ''Cor an Iarna'', meaning 'The Hill of the Skein (of thread)’, which derived its name from the weavers who lived there. In the 1938 Dúchas Folklore Collection<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ballyconnell (B.) | The Schools' Collection |url=https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/5083770/5039657 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200411174717if_/https://doras.gaois.ie/cbes/CBES_0967/CBES_0967_356.jpg?anchor=center&quality=100&attachment=true |archive-date=2020-04-11 |website=dúchas.ie |page=356}}</ref> there is an account of a flax mill in Corranierna. The local pronunciation however is 'Corr-Nern-Yah', which seems to indicate a different meaning: ''Cor na nAirchinneach'', meaning 'The Hill of the Erenagh'. On the 1609 Ulster Plantation Baronial map it forms part of Mullaghduff townland.<ref>{{cite web |year=1861 |others=Created by H. James |title=4.25.

==Geography==
It is bounded on the north and west by Annagh townland, on the east by Killywilly townland and on the south by Mullaghduff townland. Its chief geographical features are Annagh Lough, Killywilly Lough, two chalybeate wells and some drumlin hills reaching an altitude of {{convert|234|ft|m}} above sea-level. The townland is traversed by the local L1505 road (known locally as the Yellow Road, so called because it was originally surfaced with yellow gravel and sandstone), Killywilly Lane, some minor lanes and the disused Cavan and Leitrim Railway. Corranierna covers an area of 180 statute acres, including {{convert|26|acre|m2}} of water.
==History==
As it formed part of Mullaghduff, its history is the same as that townland until the beginning of the 19th century, when it was separated within the Montgomery estate.
George Montgomery died in 1841 and his estate went to his Enery cousins of Bawnboy. In 1856 they sold the estate to take advantage of its increased value owing to the opening of the Woodford Canal through the town in the same year. The estate, including Corranierna, was split up among different purchasers. Maps and details of previous leases of the sold parts are still available.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Enery Estate |url=https://www.cavanlibrary.ie/404/?404%3bhttps%3a%2f%2fwww.cavanlibrary.ie%3a443%2ffile-library%2flocal-studies%2flibrary-scanned-docs%2fenery-estate.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171115190308if_/http://www.cavanlibrary.ie/file/Local-Studies/Library-Scanned-Docs/Enery-Estate.pdf |archive-date=2017-11-15 |website=Cavan County Council’s Library Service}}</ref>
