Rosehill is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland. It lies in the Roman Catholic parish of Templeport and barony of Tullyhaw.
Geography
Rosehill is bounded on the north by Ray, Templeport and Cloneary townlands, on the west by Porturlan townland, on the south by Camagh townland, and on the east by Gortnaleck townland. Its chief geographical features are Gortnaleck Lough, a pond, a stream, and a wood.{{cite web | title=Shop.osi.ie Mapviewer | website=Ordnance Survey Ireland | url=http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,622270,815211,10,9 | ref={{sfnref | Ordnance Survey Ireland}} | accessdate=24 May 2016 | archive-date=29 August 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120829114800/http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,622270,815211,10,9 | url-status=dead }} Rosehill is traversed by the national secondary R205 road (Ireland), minor public roads, and rural lanes. The townland covers 56 statute acres.
History
In medieval times the McGovern barony of Tullyhaw was divided into economic taxation areas called ballibetoes, from the Irish Baile Biataigh (Anglicized as 'Ballybetagh'), meaning 'A Provisioner's Town or Settlement'. The original purpose was to enable the farmer, who controlled the baile, to provide hospitality for those who needed it, such as poor people and travellers. The ballybetagh was further divided into townlands farmed by individual families who paid a tribute or tax to the head of the ballybetagh, who in turn paid a similar tribute to the clan chief. The steward of the ballybetagh would have been the secular equivalent of the erenagh in charge of church lands. There were seven ballibetoes in the parish of Templeport. Rosehill was located in the ballybetagh of Ballymagauran. The historical spellings of the ballybetagh are Ballymackgawran & Ballimacgawran (Irish = Baile Mhic Shamhráin = McGovern's Town).
The 1609 Baronial Map depicts the townland as part of Kilcrooghan (Irish 'Coill Cruachán' meaning The Wood of the Round Hill (the other part of Kilcrooghan is now the modern townland of Gortnaleck).{{Cite map |url=https://digital-library.qub.ac.uk/digital/collection/p15979coll8/id/179/rec/3|map= 4.25.

An 1809 map of ecclesiastical lands in Templeport depicts it as Bellacrohaw (from Irish: Bél Átha Cruachán, meaning The Entrance to the Ford of the Round Hill), which was probably its old Irish name before it was changed to Rosehill in the 19th century.{{cite web | website=Templeport Development Association | title=1809 Templeport map | url=http://www.templeport.ie/pages/1809-tp-map.html | ref={{sfnref | 1809 Templeport map}} | accessdate=24 May 2016}}
