Derryadd Lake
Derryadd meaning the long oak wood indicates that this inter-drumlin lake was once fringed by trees. The trees are gone and the lake has reduced in size during the last century. The rise and fall of water levels is a natural process which in recent times has been exacerbated by human activity including the lowering of Lough Neagh which lies approximately 1 mile to the north.
