SETTLEMENT: CHERRY ISLAND in Cornagrade

SETTLEMENT: CHERRY ISLAND

What is recorded here

Cherry Island appeared in County Fermanagh during the post-medieval sixteenth century, when human hands shaped the land into a recognizable settlement. The name suggests red fruit, bright water or seasonal abundance rather than royal grandeur. People may have lived there quietly while larger histories passed overhead, leaving behind only a point on a forgotten map.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as SETTLEMENT: CHERRY ISLAND. Recorded period: C16TH; POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
