Brackaghlislea (locally [ˌbraklïsˈleː], [ˌbrakrïsˈleː], and [ˌbrakïsˈleː]; from Irish An Bhreacach, meaning 'the speckled place', and Lios Liath, meaning "grey fort"[2]) is a townland lying within the civil parish of Kilcronaghan, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
It is bounded by the following townlands: Drumard, Gortahurk, Mormeal, Tamnyaskey and Tullyroan.
[3] The townland was part of Tobermore electoral ward of the former Magherafelt District Council, however in 1901 and 1926 it was part of Iniscarn district electoral division as part of the Draperstown dispensary (registrar's) district of Magherafelt Rural District.
[3] The modern townland of Brackaghlislea appears to be the amalgamation of two 17th century townlands: Ballynebracky (from Irish Baile na Breacai, meaning 'townland of the speckled place'); and Lislea (from Irish Lios Liath, meaning 'grey fort').
