Ballysaggart Lough or Black Lough is a lough in Dungannon , County Tyrone , Northern Ireland . It is within the drainage basin of the River Blackwater which flows out of Lough Neagh .[1] It is part of the waterway created to service mills in nearby Moygashel .[2] The lough has an area of 42.5 acres (17.2 ha ).[3] Bally Saggart Lough came under the ownership of Mid Ulster District Council in 2014 and the Council are looking to improve public access to the Lough.[4]
In 2002 a man drowned after getting into difficulties swimming across it.[5]
The Ballysaggart Environmental Group was formed in 2004 to protect the unique habitat in and around the Lough.[6] 102 species of bird have been recorded at the Lough, 18 of which are "on the endangered list".[3] Species recorded include Eurasian curlew , Eurasian teal and hen harrier , mallard , Eurasian wigeon , common goldeneye and whooper swan .[2] In 2006 a vagrant drake lesser scaup was photographed on the lough,[7] while other unusual bird species reported from lough include Iceland gull , glaucous gull and yellow-legged gull .[8] Among the fish species recorded in the lough are pike , perch and rudd , roach , bream , tench and eel . Coarse fishing takes place at the lough with the best fishing are near the sluice at its northern end where the water is deeper.[9]
The name Ballysaggart is considered to mean the "field or townland of the priests" and a priory was located towards the northern end of Ballysaggart Lough.[2] This may refer to a Franciscan Priory on Drumbearn Hill at Castlecaulfield which opened in 1687, before moving to Donnaghmore and lasted until 1816-17 when the last friar died.[10]
