ROCKCORRY, a village, in the parish of EMATRIS,
barony of DARTRY, county of MONAGHAN, and province
of ULSTER, 4 miles (N. E.) from Cootehill, on the old
road to Monaghan; the population is returned with
the parish. The place derives its name from the family
of Corry, on whose estate it is situated, and whose
residence is contiguous to the village. It consists of
one wide street, of which many of the houses are of
respectable appearance, and it has a neat market-house.
The market is on Wednesday, and there is a fair on the
last Wednesday in each month. Here is a station of
the constabulary police, and petty sessions are held on
alternate Wednesdays. In the village are meetinghouses
for Presbyterians of the Seceding Synod, and
for Wesleyan Methodists; the former is of recent erection,
and both are neat buildings. An infants' school,
chiefly supported by Mrs. Devereux, is held in the market-
house, to which a sewing-school is attached; and
there is a dispensary.
