The village of Tourlestrane itself is the smaller of the two villages in the parish of Kilmactigue, the other being Aclare. It is a market centre for local dairy farmers, and the location of the main parish church.
The townland of Clooncagh (Cluain Chatha meaning "meadow of the battle") is located near the village and known for a 15th-century battle between two warring clans.[citation needed]
