Area 92: 0: 25
Etymology
- 1609 - Agharrusky - Escheated Counties Map 1609
- 1659 - Agharnsky - Census 1659 (-n- is obviously a mistake for –u-)
- 1823 - Aharoosky - Church of Ireland Census
- 1833 - Achadh Ruscaidh "field of the marsh"
- 1913 - "field of the rúsc, rúscach, or marsh"
- 2004 - Achadh Rúscaigh "field of the marsh"
Agharoosky (Irish: Achadh Rúscaigh) means “field of the marsh” or "field of the marshy wood"
It is one of several townlands with the name Agharoosky in this area of Fermanagh. There are townlands of Agharoosky East and West in the neighbouring parish of Galloon, and also a townland named Agharoosky in County Leitrim. Agharoosky East, which once was the site of Bishop Heygate’s ‘castle’, the centre of Robert Calvert’s grant, it is reached by the Carneyhome road out of Magheraveeley. Agharoosky West is along the Clones / Newtownbutler road.
This townland joins Corrardaghy along the line of the Killylackey Road and this is where it lived up to its name of being marshy as this stretch of road was notorious for flooding. This low-lying area is locally called ‘the boyne’ and the field next to it in Killylackey is known as ‘the boyne meadow’. The Irish word for bog or swamp is ‘moin’ so this is probably an example of the original word being misheard. Originally it was the ‘moin meadow’.
