Altmore

Altmore ( Irish: Alt Mor (Great Glen)) is a hamlet and townland in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is five miles from Carrickmore and four miles from Pomeroy. The townland is actually called Altmore (alias Barracktown) and is situated in the historic barony of Dungannon Middle and the civil parish of Pomeroy and covers an area of 1117 acres. Most of the community consists of farmers who make their livelihood in cattle and pig farming. It is an isolated area, though easily accessible and the natural beauty has remained untouched.
