EtymologyAghanaglack derives from the Irish achadh na glaice, meaning "field of the hollow". Alternative spellings of this name recorded over the centuries include: Aghneglack (1609), Aghonaglacky (1611), Agheneglackie (1624), Aghneglacke (1630), Aghanlaike (1659) and Glack, Glac or Glac Mhanchach, Aghonaglacky and Aghanaglach. HistoryThe Reverend John Nixon states in his diary, that during the period of the Plantation, the Chief of the O’Flanagans whose main residence was at Aghamore on the shore of Carrick Lough, received a grant of land at Glack in Boho. Some of the ruling sept of the O’Flanagans eventually settled in Austria. Giants Double Court TombIn 1938 a "double court tomb" (Grid ref: H0981 4358)was excavated in the townland of Aghanaglack by Prof. Oliver Davies (4000–2000 BC). The tomb is in a clearing in Ballintempo Forest at an altitude of 222m (Grid ref: H097 435). The twin galleries of the tomb are aligned east-west, one of which has a length of 4 metres, terminating in a 2-metre-tall stone and the other about 1 metre ending in the bedrock. The site was thought to have been disturbed by previous excavations; some of the stones used for building;the actual cairn being used as a pigsty. The tomb was found to contain Bronze Age and Stone Age items, pots, arrowheads and the remains of two children some of which can be found on display at the Enniskillen museum.
