Mullahoran (Irish: Mhullach Odhráin – Hilltop of Odhrán) is a townland in the south-west of County Cavan, bordering County Longford, on the northern edge of the Midlands in Ireland. It is also the name of a Roman Catholic parish.[1][2][3] It is a constituent part of the electoral division and civil parish of Drumlumman.[4][5]
