Munterconnaught is a civil and ecclesiastical parish of County Cavan, Ireland. It is located between the southern shores of Lough Ramor and the county boundary with County Meath. The name Munterconnaught has often been mistaken as being derived from the Irish Muintir meaning people and Connacht being the western province. However, it actually has nothing to do with this and is named after Choncur, one of the 13 sons of the O'Reilly's of Breffni. The O'Reilly Clan ruled the area of Cavan and Leitrim which was known as Breffni for centuries.
