Borim (Irish derived place name, Bó Dhroim, meaning "The Ridge of the Cow") is a townland in the civil parish of Kinawley, barony of Tullyhaw, County Cavan, Ireland.[1] A sub-division is called The Knocken (Irish derived place name, Cnoc-ín, meaning 'The Small Hill'). The 1938 Dúchas collection states- it is a field in the farm of Mr Patrick McGovern. It is a high bank over a river with a lone bush growing in it.[2]
The Dúchas folklore collection states it is so named because it resembles a cow's back, but Patrick Weston Joyce in Irish Names of Places, Vol. III states that: "Borim, in Cavan, exactly represents the sound of the Irish Bo-dhruim, cow-ridge, i.e. a low hill-ridge or back which, for its sweet grass, was a favourite grazing place for cows. Here the two component words are Bo and drim (Irish druim), and if there was no aspiration the compound Bo-drim would be sounded as it is written, with the 'd' brought out fully. But as the 'd' is aspirated under the adjectival influence of Bo, it drops out, and the name becomes reduced to Borim".[3]
In medieval times Borim 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.[5]
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.[6] A history of Richard and George Graham is viewable online.[7] 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 Buorim and lists the proprietor as Mr Thomas Worshipp and the tenants as Tiernan McHugh & others.
The 1665 Down Survey map of Tullyhaw depicts the townland as Gortnaboram.[8]
A grant dated 9 September 1669 from King Charles II to Arthur Annesley, 1st Earl of Anglesey included part of Gortnaboram alias Quillin with an area of 110 acres and 16 perches at an annual rent of £1-9s-8d.[9]
