Tydavnet, officially Tedavnet (Irish: Tigh Damhnata, meaning 'house of Damhnait'),[3] is a village in northern County Monaghan, Ireland, and also the name of the townland and civil parish in which the village sits. Both the Church of Ireland and Catholic church have Tydavnet named as a parish and in both cases, the geographical area is almost identical.[citation needed] The village is located on the R186 regional road.
