Ballycassidy is a small village in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, just north of Enniskillen on the eastern shore of Lower Lough Erne. In the 2001 Census it had (with Laragh and Trory) a population of 315 people. It lies within the Fermanagh District Council area.

Ballycassidy is a townland, or small rural community, consisting mainly of scattered homes, the Balcas Sawmill and rich farm land along the Ballycassidy River. There is no pub or grocery store, only a post office. It is the ancestral home of all Cassidys.

[edit] History

In the 14th century, there was a church in Ballycassidy. A holy well in the area was associated with Saint Molaise who founded the monastery on nearby Devenish Island.
