Tullyroan
Tullyroan ( and , 〔) is a townland lying within the civil parish of Kilcronaghan, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It lies in the centre of the parish and is bounded by the townlands of: Brackaghlislea, Calmore, Cloughfin, Coolsaragh, Gortahurk, Tamnyaskey. It wasn't apportioned to any of the London livery companies, being kept as church lands.〔
The townland is currently part of Tobermore electoral ward of Magherafelt District Council, however in 1926 it was part of Tobermore district electoral division as part of the Maghera division of Magherafelt Rural District.〔 It was also part of the former barony of Loughinsholin.〔
==Etymology==
The townland of Tullyroan is derived from the Irish ''Tulaigh Uí Ruáin'' meaning "O'Rowan's hill".〔 ''Tulaigh'' (or ''Tulach''), which means "hillock/hill" likely refers to Belmount Hill which is in this townland. The second element could be of several different origins such as ''ruán'' in the sense of buckwheat, which grew well on small hills, or in the sense of red land or soil, of which Tullyroan contains a considerable amount of heath especially around Belmount Hill. Despite this it is postulated that it in fact derives from the name O'Rowan, a name found in western Ireland, however in the 1663 Hearth Money Rolls, a "Knogher O'Rome" (read as O'Roine) is recorded within this parish.〔
Belmount Hill in this townland is derived from the French ''Bel Mont'', meaning "beautiful mountain".〔
