Aughnacloy, sometimes spelt Auchnacloy (Irish: ''Achadh na Cloiche'' (field of the stone)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Place Names NI )〕) is a village in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Close to the border with County Monaghan, the village is about 12 miles southwest of Dungannon, and 4 miles southeast of Ballygawley. It is situated in the historic barony of Dungannon Lower and the civil parish of Carnteel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=IreAtlas Townland Database )〕 In the 2001 Census it had a population of 801. ==History==
Much of the town was built in the 18th Century by Acheson Moore, the local landlord. Because he backed the Jacobite cause, he planted his estate in the shape of a thistle and planned out the town on the edge of it. Unable to rename it "Mooretown", he had to settle for naming the main street "Moore Street", and the side streets Sydney, Lettice, and Henrietta (now Ravella Road), after his three wives. Aughnacloy served as an important staging post on the road to Derry. However, lacking large-scale industry, it started to wane in the late 19th century.
