Sillees River :: Shared Description
The Sillees River is located in south-western County Fermanagh. Its source is Lough Ahork, which is located in Lough Navar Forest. From here it continues through Correl Glen, Derrygonnelly and the Boho countryside, passing through both Carran and Ross Loughs where it ends in Lower Lough Erne.
The river is famous for the curse which was given by St Faber, when she changed its direction, making the river bad for fishing and good for drowning.
In another tale of the river, there is a highwayman known as Black Francis Corrigan, who leaps the Sillees in a single bound with his horse after a famous robbery.
