Tirkennedy
Tirkennedy () is a barony in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. To its west lies Lower Lough Erne and south Upper Lough Erne, and it is bordered by seven other baronies: Clanawley and Magheraboy to the west; Lurg and Omagh East to the north; Clogher to the east; Magherastephana and Knockninny to the south. History Despite its name, Tirkennedy has nothing to do with the modern personal name of Kennedy, which derives from ''Cennétig'' (ugly/rough headed).

Fergus lived in the late fifth century AD and was known as ''Cennfhota'' (long-head). His descendants became known as the ''Ui Chennfhota'', with the kingdom of ''Tir Cennfhota'' receiving its first mention in the Annals in 1349. Chieftains of Tirkennedy at the beginning of the Maguire’s reign over Fermanagh in the late 1200s were the Magunshinan, originally M ...

To its south-west lies Upper Lough Erne, and it is bordered by five other baronies: Tirkennedy to the west; Knockninny to the south-west; and Coole to the south; Clankelly to the south-east; and Clogher to the north-west.
