"Redhills, a village, in that part of the parish of Annagh which is in the barony of Tullaghgarvey, county of Cavan, and province of Ulster, 2 miles from Belturbet, on the road to Ballyhaise: the population is returned with the parish. It takes its name from the peculiarly red colour of the soil, which arises from its being strongly impregnated with iron: the roads near it are all of a deep red colour. Here is a R. C. chapel belonging to the district of Annagh East, or Killoughter." [From Lewis' Topographical Dictionary (1837)]

It contains a Roman Catholic chapel. The village takes its name from the red tint of the roads and soil, arising from the prevalence of iron."
