Castlerahan (Irish: Caisleán Raithin[1]) is a barony in County Cavan, Ireland.[2] Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units. They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.[3][4]
