History

In 1498, after the death of his daughter, Gilbert Ó Flannagáin had a church (Carrick Church) erected at Aghamore, which was known at that time as Achadh-Mor-Baile-Uí-Flannagáin, in the parish of Inishmacsaint in the Barony of Magheraboy.[3]

O'Flanagan made his residence on an artificial island in Carrick Lough not far from his church.[4]

In 1672, this townland was known as Aghamore in the Barony of Magheryboy,[1] and was the medieval seat of the Ó Flannagáin (O'Flanagan) dynasty.[5]
