It is bounded on the north by Aughrim townland, on the east by Gortawee &amp; Rakeelan townlands, on the south by Doon (Tomregan) townland and on the west by Gortoorlan &amp; Snugborough townlands. Its chief geographical features are some mountain streams, forestry plantations and Slieve Rushen mountain, on whose south-eastern slope it lies, reaching an altitude of 300 meters above sea-level. The townland is traversed by Mucklagh Lane. According to the Dúchas School's Collection the lane was made as part of the public works carried out in the 1840s as a result of the Great Famine (Ireland). In the same collection is a description of Mucklagh in 1938. Mucklagh covers an area of 212 hectares. A grouping of local houses in the townland was called "Oddity Town".
