Belturbet is a town in County Cavan, Ireland. It lies on the N3 road, around 14 km north of Cavan town and 123 km from Dublin. It is also located around 4 km south of the border with Northern Ireland, between the counties of Cavan and Fermanagh, and 36 km from Enniskillen.
Belturbet's location is historically one of the best places for crossing the River Erne. It was the capital of the Kingdom of East Breifne which was an historic kingdom of Ireland roughly corresponding to County Cavan that existed from 1256 to 1607. When the Anglo-Normans tried to conquer Cavan in the early 13th century, Walter de Lacy built a motte-and-bailey on Turbet Island. The fort was probably made of wood and has not survived, although the steep mound of earth where it was built can still be seen. In the late 16th century the local O'Reilly chieftains built a castle opposite Turbot Island, but this has not survived either.
