Brockagh (or Brocagh) is a village in Tyrone, on the western shore of Lough Neagh, about four miles east of Coalisland and north of Washing Bay.
The name of the village is from the Gaelic Brocach, meaning 'badger warren'.
About the village
The village consists mostly of single dwellings and farm buildings, although some in-depth development has recently taken place to the north of Mountjoy Road and to the west of Ballybeg Road. Land adjacent to the Duckingstool River may be subject to flooding.
Mountjoy Castle stands near the village, on a hill overlooking Lough Neagh. It was built by Lord Mountjoy in 1602 and partly burned in during the Confederate War, in 1643.
