History
In
1959, a
Bronze Age tomb was discovered here placing the village at over
3000 years old. Unfortunately for historians, the
urn and other artifacts found were inadvertently destroyed when the tomb was being excavated.
The name 'Scairbh na gCaorach' (the
Irish language name for Emyvale) means 'crossing of the sheep', referring to a low (and easily traversable) point in the Mountain Water river on which Emyvale is situate. The name is thought to have come from the Ui Meith tribe, the village's first inhabitants. Scairbh na gCaorach was abbreviated to "Scarna" in the early part of the 19th Century (indeed a local hostelry bears this name), although this fell out of common usage, and village is now referred to by its English language name; Emyvale.
In the 8th century, the
McKenna Clan arrived, and by the 12th century they'd established an independent
túath or kingdom in
North Monaghan, which would last for the next 450 years.
