text: # Gub (Kinawley)
  
  Gub (Irish derived place name Gob, meaning 'The Headland') is a townland in the civil parish of Kinawley, barony of Tullyhaw, County Cavan, Ireland. The townland is also called 'Gub Wallace' (after the Wallace family that lived there) to distinguish it from similar named townlands.
  
  ## Geography
  
  Gub is bounded on the west by Dunglave, Gortmore, Gortnaleg and Moherreagh townlands and on the east by Cullion (Kinawley) and Finaghoo townlands. Its chief geographical features are mountain streams; forestry plantations; a spring well and dug wells. Finaghoo is traversed by minor public roads and rural lanes. The townland covers 158 statute acres.
  
  ## History
  
  Up until the 19th century, Gub formed part of Dunglave townland and was known as 'Upper Dunglave', so its history is the same as Dunglave until then.
  
  The Tithe Applotment Books 1834 spell the name as Gubb or Upper Dungleave.
