History

Local historian Leo Mulligan MBE details that at the time of the Plantation of Ulster there was a settlement of significance at Ederny when the land grant (titled "Edernagh") was given to Captain Thomas Blennerhassett of Norfolk in 1610. He created the Manor of Edernagh on a Шаблон:Convert demesne and a court baron on the shores of Lough Erne, which he later named Castle Hassett. He established the new village of Ederny (Edernagh).[7][8]

By 1797, the settlement is recorded in the Topographia Hibernica as Ederny Bridge and "fair days" were held there.[5][9]

Another local landmark is Drumskinny stone circle. Drumskinny (Шаблон:Etymology) is the site of a stone circle in the nearby townland of Drumskinny.[11] The site consists of 39 stones set in a circle. The arrangement is reportedly related to the seasons, moon and sun, and dates from the Bronze Age.[12][13]
