Clogherbog is a townland in Fermanagh, and part of the civil parish of Boho. It contains five sub-townlands: Carrickrory, Lough Nacloyduff, Loughanquin, Loughnamanfin and Tullylaur.[1]
The area is notable for the discovered remnants of ancient civilisations, including an Iron Age wooden cauldron[2] and the lettered cave at Lough Nacloyduff (the lake of the dark caverns), which contains primitive inscriptions.[1] The origins of this cave have been speculated on since a visit by William Wakeman in 1850.[3][4]
Other features include the Mass rock which is inscribed with the date of 1777 and the Lake of the Fair Woman (Loch na mban fionn) which is the subject of an old tale.[1]
