Mullagh () is a village (and a parish) in County Cavan, Ireland. It had a population of 1137 in 2011. It lies in the south-east of the county, at the junction of the R191 and the R194 regional roads near the town of Virginia in County Cavan and the border with both Kells and the village of Moynalty in County Meath. It contains a heritage centre dedicated to St Kilian, who was born in Mullagh c 640 and was martyred in Würzburg in Franconia in northern Bavaria, Germany, in circa 689. The centre also has an exhibition related to ogham script and the development of illuminated manuscripts. The Catholic church, a Victorian neo-Gothic structure located 400m from the village on the Virginia Road (R194), is named in memory of its patron, Saint Kilian. It was built in the late 1850s.〔Mulligan, Kevin V., ''The Buildings of Ireland: South Ulster - Armagh, Cavan and Monaghan'' (popularly known as the ''Pevsner Guide to South Ulster''). Yale, New Haven and London, 2013.〕 Ruins of an earlier church, known as the ''Teampeall Ceallaigh'', remain in what is now part of the Church of Ireland grounds located approximately 600m along the same road. The village is situated approximately 2 kilometers from the border with County Meath and the province of Leinster, which is marked by the ''River Borora'', which flows into the Owenroe River at ''Mullagh Bridge''. The environs of the village have witnessed substantial housing and industrial development in recent years. Mullagh's proximity to the new M3 motorway has had the effect of bringing Mullagh and south County Cavan within commuting distance from Dublin and larger towns in Leinster. ==Amenities== Amenities locally include ''Mullagh Lake'' and Hill Walk (2 kilometers outside the village on the ''Virginia Road''), Tennis Court and People's Park on ''Mullagh Fair Green'', Children's Playground beside the St. Kilian's Heritage Center.
