Aughareamlagh (from Irish Achadh Ramalach, meaning 'field of stagnant water')[1] is a townland of 800 acres in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is situated approximately 2.6 miles (4.2 km) southwest of Carnlough,[2] in the civil parish of Tickmacrevan and the historic barony of Glenarm Lower.[3] Aughareamlagh was known for its bauxite mining.[4]

There is a fork in the road between the A42 road (Carnough Road) and Slane Road in the area. The main landmark is the Mullaghwee Self Catering Farmhouse along Slane Road.[2]
