Oghill Round Tower

Monument

What is recorded here

Oghill Round Tower stands in County Fermanagh as a memorial erected in 1895 for soldiers slain in an ancient local battle. The monument marks a violent chapter probably tied to the Jacobite - Williamite war of 1690, while old maps place a Jacobite Camp at Clonee, Ederney nearby. It is a sharp reminder that ordinary Irish fields have carried military fury long before they became quiet countryside.
