Description

Kiltierney is a privately-owned farm with a rich heritage that dates to 100BC.

Once a deer enclosure and important food store for Plantation landlords, the present day owner Noel Graham farms this part of Fermanagh with an appreciation for the stories that lie behind the Deer Park walls.

Through this short film you will learn a little about this special place and hear about its history through the pre-historic, medieval, Plantation and World War II periods.

The film also introduces the viewer to Ardess Church of Ireland and graveyard, one of Fermanagh's oldest Christian sites with a wonderful and respectful story to tell about the church and its connection to Kiltierney Deer Park, its Plantation history and the Famine grave and its respectful restoration.

This film is presented by the Courthouse Kesh Ltd, supported by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds through the Lough Erne Landscape Partnership and funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
