Aghadrumsee (from Irish Achadh Dhruim Saileach, meaning 'field of the ridge of sallows') is a small village in south-eastern County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.
Historically the town of Clones (now along the border in County Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland) has had a significant influence on this rural community due mainly to the railway which once ran through it. It is situated within Fermanagh and Omagh district.
The earliest recorded spelling of Aghadrumsee from 1609 is Aghadromsillagh. Its modern Irish translation (Achadh Dhruim Saileach) is based on this earlier name. This is derived from the Gaelic words: achadh meaning field; druim meaning ridge, and saileach meaning sallow. This now gives it the meaning of field of the ridge of sallows. The see syllable in the current spelling of Aghadrumsee is a homophone of sidhe. This gives Aghadrumsee its folklore meaning of field of the fairy hillock.
Aghadrumsee comes under the Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic dioceses of Clogher. The Parish of Aghadrumsee straddles the border town of Clones (now along the border in County Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland). The community is served by a number of churches including St Mark's Church of Ireland and St Macartan's Roman Catholic chapel. There are also several evangelical gospel halls in the area.
There are currently two primary schools in the local area. A Roman Catholic maintained which is located in the region of Tattynageeragh, and one located in Aghadrumsee. All are sited in rural locations within three miles of each other and fall under the Western Education and Library Board (WELB) catchment area.
