Poulataggart in Gortaclare is traditionally associated with a site of Catholic worship during the Penal Days, linked to clandestine Mass celebrations. The name may derive from "Poula" (a form of Philip) and "Tághart," suggesting a possible connection to Saint Philip or a local holy person venerated in the area.
