Aghacommon

Aghacommon is a small village and townland in north County Armagh, Northern Ireland. It lies between Derrymacash, Lurgan and Craigavon. The M1 motorway and Dublin–Belfast [railway line] are on either side. The village covers the townlands of Aghacommon and Ballynamony. The village is sometimes confused with the neighbouring townland of Derrymacash.
Aghacommon has a Catholic church and primary school, both named for Saint Patrick. At the southern edge of the village is Craigavon lakes and Tannaghmore Animal Farm. The animal farm, which is open to the public, holds rare and endangered farm animals that were once widespread in Ulster. There is a farming museum on the site.
