Derrylaughan is a small townland in the parish of Clonoe,on the southwest corner of Lough Neagh, 4 miles from Coalisland, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It has a small population of people and is beside the shores of Lough Neagh. Derrylaughan is mainly bogland. This was due to the overflow of lough Neagh in the winter time and also due to heavy rain which lay in hallows in the ground. Running beside the 'Moss' is the holy river. It is referred to as holy because saint Bridget came and blessed the water. Many people have come for hundreds of years for a treatment for whatever illness they had. This even happens today but on a smaller scale.
