The earliest known spelling is Hawswood, meaning The Wood of the Hawthorns but the name seems to have been later corrupted to Hawkswood) is a townland in the civil parish of Kinawley, Barony of Tullyhaw, County Cavan, Ireland. The original Irish place name was Cluain Caomh meaning 'The Beautiful Meadow'. The town of Swanlinbar is partially situated in Hawkswood.
