Geography

Dunglave is bounded on the south by Gortmore townland, on the west by Derrynacreeve, Drumcanon (Kinawley), Gortlaunaght and Gortullaghan townlands and on the east by Gortnaleg and Gub (Kinawley) townlands. Its chief geographical features are the Blackwater river which later flows into the River Cladagh (Swanlinbar), a stone quarry, mountain streams, woods and a dug well. Dunglave is traversed by minor public roads and rural lanes. The townland covers 145 statute acres.[2]

History

Until the 19th century the present-day townland of Gub (Kinawley) formed part of Dunglave.

In medieval times Dunglave 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.[3]

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.[4] A history of Richard and George Graham is viewable online.[5] 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 and distributed as follows-

The 1652 Commonwealth Survey spells the name as Doongliow and lists the proprietor as Mr Thomas Worshipp and the tenants as William Graham & others, so the Graham family were reduced to tenant status.

William Petty's 1685 map depicts it as Down Glean.[7]
