Brookeborough (/brʊkˈbʌrə/. Irish: Achadh Lon) is a village in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland at the Westerly foot of Slieve Beagh. It lies about eleven miles east of Enniskillen, just off the A4 trunk road, and about five miles west of the County Tyrone boundary. It is situated in the civil parish of Aghavea and the historic barony of Magherastephana.
According to the 2001 Census, Brookeborough had a population of 517. The economy is heavily dependent on cattle and sheep farming. There are five places of Christian worship; a Catholic church, a Methodist church (built in 1839), an Elim Pentecostal church, a Church of Ireland church and a Baptist church; three public houses; and two primary (elementary) schools.
The Boer War memorial at the head of the town was carved by a local man named Harte in 1901. Behind it is the Lady Brooke Memorial Hall of the same date, a period building preserving all its original features including a clocktower and transverse stained glass window panels.

Limerick and Fergal O’Hanlon from Monaghan town. The event is central to the mythology and balladry of the republican movement. 40 years later Léargas re-examines the raid itself and its legacy. “The Brookeborough Raid” first transmitted on 14 Jan 1997 During the IRA Border campaign of the 1950’s over 200 men were interned in the Curragh Military Camp. Some of them now look back on their time as reluctant guests of the nation.
