54°20′56″N 7°47′46″W / 54.349°N 7.796°W / 54.349; -7.796 Clogherbog is a townland situated on the south west side of Boho in Co. Fermanagh. The area also contains the sub-townlands of Carrickrory, Lough Nacloyduff, Loughanquin, Loughnamanfin and Tullylaur.[1] The area is notable for remnants of ancient civilizations as evidenced by wooden cauldren dated from 500BC-500AD and the lettered cave at Lough Nacloyduff which contains primitive inscriptions.[1] The origins of this cave have been speculated on since a visit by Wakeman in 1850.[1] [2]

Other interesting facets of this townland include the Mass rock which is inscribed with the date of 1777 and the Lake of the Fair Woman (loch na mban fionn) which is the subject of an old tale.[1]
