Tullyullagh, County Fermanagh
Origin
perhaps Ir. Tulaigh Ula ‘hill of the tomb’ or Tuligh Úllach ‘hill abounding in apples’
Background
The anglicised form tully usually represents tulach ‘low hill’ or tulaigh, which is an oblique form of the same noun. Previous proposals have provided variants of ula ‘tomb, sepulchre’ for the second element, although there now does not appear to be any sites archaeological significance within the townland. We might also consider úllach ‘abounding in apples’ in the form Tulaigh Úllach ‘hill abounding in apples’.
