The larger of these is a Janus figure , two figures back to back with pear shaped heads and interlacing between the heads representing hair. The East face pictured left is carved with a penis and is the male side of the figure, and the west face pictured above is the female side. Both of these carvings are in high relief. The smaller figure which is known as “the Lustyman” because it was found on the nearby island Lusty More, may in fact be a female figure. Both fgures are described as Celtic Idols.

With its abundance of Loughs and Rivers, our waters offer game anglers the opportunity to fish for salmon as well as stocked rainbow and brown trout. The famous sonaghan, ferox and gillaroo can also be found in these diverse waters. The Coarse angler will find some of the finest fishing available in Europe, with bream, roach and hybrids in abundance as well as perch and tench. Add to this pike fishing that is second to none - whether seeking to catch them on fly or in a more traditional manner and the region offers all anglers wonderful opportunities. There is no closed season for the coarse angler as Lough Erne and many still waters are open all year round. There are many popular Loughs, rivers and fisheries that are easily accessed by visitors. Lough Erne & Lough Melvin being the more well known. 44 | Fermanagh Lakelands Visitor Guide 2012 Cast your net | Angling Lough Erne Lough Erne is made up of the Upper Lough East of Enniskillen and the Lower Lough which runs west to Belleek. The Lough is a mixed coarse and game fishery. The game angling, in the main, takes place on the Lower Lough although trout are found throughout the system. The Lower Lough is a large expanse of water, over 15 miles long with numerous islands and bays. These provide vast areas of shallow water and rocky shores making for ideal fishing grounds. Although a limited number of salmon run the Lough wild brown trout are the quarry and the Lough holds an excellent head of fish. Lough Melvin Sitting on the western end of Co. Fermanagh this is one of Ireland’s most famous Loughs. It is home to three distinct species of trout - the magic sonaghan, the gillaroo and the ferox - as well as enjoying a run of spring salmon and grilse. Fishing starts in February with the arrival of the first salmon and continues through the months with grilse from May to July and wonderful trout fishing throughout the season. Trolling is the most used method for the springers but fly fishing for the sonaghan and gillaroo, as well as the grilse, is excellent. Angling Events A number of angling events take place in Fermanagh throughout the year. The main one being the Waterways Ireland Classic Fishing Festival, which is one of Europe’s premier fishing festivals with up to 300 anglers from Ireland and Europe taking part. Taking place this year from 9th-13th May.

The vast majority of placenames in Ireland are anglicisations or phoentic spellings of Irish language names. Places, especially townlands, were often named after noteworthy features of the landscape, such as hills, rocks, valleys, trees, lakes, islands etc. Examples of this include ‘carraig’ (meaning rock), ‘knock’ (meaning hill) ‘letter’ (meaning hillside) ‘lis’ (meaning earth ring fort), ‘derry’ (meaning oak grove) Other places were named after manmade features, such as churches, castles, and bridges. Examples of this include ‘kil’ (meaning church) and ‘droichead’ (meaning bridge). ‘Bally’ (meaning settlement) is usually compounded with personal or family names, for example ‘Ballycassidy’ (meaning town of the Cassidys) Successive waves of Norse, AngloNorman, Scots and English settlers have added to a rich variety of place names, often bringing some names with them from their former homelands and creating many more. The spelling of townland names often varies due largely to the difficulties of representing the pronunciation of Irish language names in English spelling. Is your town or village listed below?
