Killyfole is a townland in South-East County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. There are some local variations in the spelling of the same townland name including Killyfoyle and Killafole

Etymology

Killyfole is believed to mean "wood of the deep Hollow"

Early history

The earliest building around here may have been the crannog in the centre of the Killyfole Lough. When the water level falls it becomes visible and was examined by experts when the lake was drained prior to becoming a reservoir. They believe this crannog was inhabited during medieval times.
