Fivemiletown

Fivemiletown is a village and townland in the parish of Clogher in Tyrone. It is sixteen miles east of Enniskillen on the A4 Enniskillen-to-Dungannon road. The village is most famous for its creamery, which was begun as a cooperative in 1898 by Hugh de Fellonburg Montgomery.

The village was known before the Plantation of Ulster as Ballylurgan but, lying five Irish miles from its newly planted neighbouring villages, underwent a change at that time. (Read more)
