Loughtee Lower (Irish: Lucht Tí Íochtarach), or Lower Loughtee, is a barony in County Cavan, Ireland.[1][2][3] Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units.[4] They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.[5]
