From the Wikipedia article

Coole (from Irish An Chúil 'corner') is a barony in the south-east of County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. To its west lies Upper Lough Erne, and it is bordered by three other baronies in Northern Ireland: Knockninny to the west; Magherastephana to the north; and Clankelly. It also borders three baronies in the Republic of Ireland: Dartree (or Dartraige) to the east; Tullygarvey and Loughtee Lower to the south.

Background

History

Coole is based upon the ancient territory of Cuil, which was frequently referred to as the residence of the O'Cassidys (). The O'Cassidys became the head physicians of the Maguires, and the territory was a collateral or dynastic branch of the Maguires. In the Annals it appears as Cuil na nOirear, which may have applied to an old half-barony near Enniskillen.
