Photo taken from Prospect Bay with views of Brackley Lake, Cuilcagh and Benbrack mountains in the distance.
Prospect (Modern English name meaning ‘An extensive view of landscape’) because of the fine view it gives over Brackley Lake.
However, the townland was not always known as Prospect.
Earlier maps depicts the townland as being named Gortatawill; later maps depict it as Renmore.
It is now commonly known as Prospect.
Prospect is also home to the island on Brackley in the centre of the lake. The island is believed to be artificial and is classified as a Crannog.
