Medieval church and burial ground / NEAR LISNASKEA
Aghalurcher church ruins
Visit the roofless church and old burial ground at Aghalurcher to explore another layer of the area’s history, including its connections with the Maguire family. The setting rewards a slow look at surviving masonry and carved details, approached with the respect due to a cemetery.
Before you go
Two important carved medieval stones from here are now held at Enniskillen museum. Do not arrive expecting those objects to remain in the ruins.
