Newtownbutler or Newtown Butler is a small village in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It is in the southeast corner of the county, near Lough Erne, the border with County Monaghan, and the town of Clones. It is surrounded by small lakes and bogland. In the 2011 Census it had a population of 970 people. == History == Newtownbutler began to be built as a Plantation village in the early 18th century. It was built within the townland of Aghagay.〔(Placenames Database of Ireland ) (see archival records)〕〔(Ordnance Survey Ireland - Online map viewer )〕 Originally known as ''Newtown'', it was renamed ''Newtownbutler'' when Theophilus Butler was created Baron of the area in 1715. The local terrain was the undoing of some of the Jacobite forces in 1689 in the Battle of Newtownbutler. A Williamite force of less than 1000 Enniskillen troops captured and killed 3000 of James II’s troops here after they had got lost in an unmarked bog.
