context_page_description: Curraghvah, an Anglicisation of the Gaelic, either ‘Currach Bheathach’, meaning The Moor of the Birches, or ‘Currach a’ Mhagh’, meaning The Moor of the Plain, or ‘Currach Mheádh’ meaning The Moor of the Spicy Mead Drink, is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland. It lies in the Roman Catholic parish of Glangevlin and barony of Tullyhaw.
context_section_description: A medieval earthen ringfort. The 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Site no. 493) describes it as- Raised circular area (int. dims. 26.2 NE-SW; 23.3m NW-SE) enclosed by two earthen banks with a wide, deep, waterlogged intermediate fosse. Although the NW half of the site has been largely levelled, the outline of the perimeter is still identifiable. Original entrance not recognisable. Short stretch of relatively recent drystone walling on internal face of inner bank at E. A small stone-lined subcircular depression at the centre of the interior is believed to be a spring well (OPW 1977). Situated on the floor of an upland valley.
  Curraghvah National School. In 1933 the school was opened with the intention of replacing a 19th century school in Carrick West townland, which was closed. In 1938 the pupils of the school recorded local folklore. In 1979 Tullycasson school was amalgamated with Curravagh N.S., leaving Curravagh as the sole remaining school in the area.
