Aghamore, County Fermanagh


Aghamore (from Irish Achadh Mor, meaning 'great field') is a townland which is located in the Civil Parish of Inishmacsaint, to the north-west of Derrygonnelly, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The townland contains Carrick Church and graveyard (grid ref: H0962 5388), which are Scheduled Historic Monuments.

In 1498 after the death of his daughter, Gilbert O' Flannagain had a church (Carrick church) erected at Aghamore in those times known as Achadh-Mor-Baile-Ui-Flannagain in the parish of Inishmacsaint in the Barony of Magheraboy.

O'Flanagan made his residence on an artificiall island in Carrick lough not far from his church.

In 1672, this townland was known as Aghamore in the Barony of Magheryboy and was the medieval seat of the O Flanagans.
