From medieval times up to the early 1600s, the land belonged to the McKiernan Clan. About the year 1600 it was owned by Thomas McKiernan, along with the townlands of Ned, Coraghmuck and Bellaheady, all in Tullyhunco Barony. Thomas died sometime before 1611 and his lands were inherited by his son Owen McKiernan. Owen was worried that his lands would be confiscated under the Plantation of Ulster so he made representations to the Lords of the Council in Whitehall, London. They, in turn, sent the following note to Arthur Chichester, 1st Baron Chichester, the Lord Deputy of Ireland- ''April 30, 1610. Recommend to his favourable consideration in the settlement of the natives, the bearer, Owen Carnan, who sued for 800 acres of land lying in the county of Cavan, which have belonged (as he informs them) to his father, uncle, & others his predecessors, time out of mind, without any attainder for matter of disloyalty''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IT5gAAAAcAAJ&dq=%22owen+carnan%22&pg=PA441|title=Calendar of the State Papers, Relating to Ireland, of the Reign of James I.: Preserved in Her Majesty's Public Record Office, and Elsewhere. 1608 - 1610|year=1874|last1=Russell|first1=Charles W.}}</ref> Owen McKiernan was only partly successful in his claim as in the Plantation of Ulster, by grant dated 4 June 1611, King James VI and I granted 100 acres or 2 poles (a poll is a local name for townland) of land in Tullyhunco at an annual rent of £1 1''s''. 4''d.'', to ''Wony McThomas McKernan'', comprising the modern-day townlands of Ned, Doogary and Coraghmuck.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XD5JAAAAcAAJ&dq=neade&pg=PA211 |title=Calendar of the Patent Rolls of the Chancery of Ireland. - (Dublin 1800 ... |page=211 |accessdate=2016-12-09|last1=Chancery |first1=Ireland |year=1800 }}</ref> After the Irish Rebellion of 1641 concluded, the townland was confiscated in the Cromwellian Settlement and the 1652 Commonwealth Survey lists it as belonging to James Thornton.
