    Tullahought is my native townland. It is situated in the parish of Windgap, barony of Kells. it consists of twenty six families and has a population of about one hundred and twenty two. The most common family names are Duggan and Crowley. The place gets its name from "Tulach hocht" because eight hills can be seen from it.
    In olden times there was a cemetry where now stands Mr. Power's shop and public house. Two or three old roads ran through it, the "Long Pavement" is still one of its principal roads. "The Slege Dála" which is more commonly known as "Birchwood Boreen" joins the "Long Pavement" with another road.
