Antiquities

Ant_Knockmany_Chambered_Cairn.jpgThe remains of the tumulus and rude stone grave at Knockmany, Co. Tyrone, is situated on a hill overlooking the River Blackwater. The tomb of Knockmany is traditionally associated with the burial place of Baine, who died in a.d. in, but the grave is considerably earlier than this. The tomb resembles a dolmen in form ; the stones of which it is composed are of red sandstone, or mill-stone grit. The monument was originally covered by a earn, now quite destroyed. The chamber was placed Ant_A_high_cross_in_Tyrone.jpgat the margin of the earn, the arrangement recalling that of an ordinary passage tomb. An interesting feature of the monument is the scribings to be found on some of the stones which compose the chamber. One of these markings is a human face, others take the form of cups and rings, while a few are of a curious zig-zag shape. Some have supposed that the decoration is ornamental in character ; but it probably contained some symbolical meaning.

There are some 30 decorated High Crosses in Ulster. Of these the fine monument at Arboe, Cookstown, Co. Tyrone (Hotels, Tyrone, Ireland), which is 18ft. in height and elaborately carved with panels depicting Biblical scenes, is remarkable

Arc_Clogher_Entrance_Block.jpgClogher (a place abounding in stones), in Co. Tyrone, is a small village, on the line of railway between Omagh and Enniskillen. The bishopric is said to have been founded by St Patrick. The present cathedral was erected about 1740 in the medieval style, but was remodelled as a classical building in 1818.

 

History

His_Tyrone.jpgThe name Tyrone (Bed and Breakfasts, Tyrone, Ireland) comes from the Irish Gaelic word, Tir Eoghain, meaning the land of Eoghan, the son of Niall, St. Patricks kidnapper.

Tyrone has been inhabited for approximately 6,000 years. It was te ancestoral home of the ONeill clan, which reigned overHis_Grays_Printers_Museum.jpg Ulster until the beginning of the 17th century, when they, along with the other major Irish clans of Ulster, abdicated their throne to the Englishand fled to continental Europe in what was to be known as the Flight of the Earls. Like the rest of Ulster, English and Scottish colonists were moved in.

County Tyrones indigenous population, as well as its Scottish Presbyterian addition, was a significant contribution to early American settlements.

Co. Tyrone
His_Sperrin_Maountains.jpgTyrone (Holiday Apartments, Tyrone, Ireland) is a large hilly county, occupying the north-central part of Ulster. On the north-eastern edge the ancient ridge of the Sperrin mountains rises to 2240 ft., and heathery hills continue southward right across the county. The only low ground is along the Lough Neagh shore on the cast, and the valleys of the tributaries of the Foyle, which drain the greater part of the county, in the north-west. There is a larger amount of tillage and a smaller area of grass than the Irish average. There is a coal-field around Dungannon and Coalisland in the east, which is worked in a small way.
Strabane, in the north-west, is a busy town standing where the River Finn joins the Mourne to form the Foyle. Omagh is situated on a tributary of the Foyle in the centre of the county. Dungannon and Cookstown lie to the east, not far from Lough Neagh, the former perched picturesquely on a steep hill.

A high bare east-and-west ridge of mica-schist, the Sperrin mountains, rises on the borders of His_North_Cairn_of_Mullaghcarbatagh.jpgDerry and Tyrone (Accommodation, Tyrone, Ireland), attaining 2240 feet in Sawel. For twenty miles or more, on almost every side of this central mass, hills rise, stretching to the Swilly valley on the west and the Bann valley on the cast, and overlooking Lough Foyle on the north. Two of the most conspicuous of the outliers of this mass arc Slieve Gallion on the south-east, which looks down on the Tyrone coal-field and Lough Neagh, and the beautiful cliff-walled hill of Benevenagh on the north, which rises imposingly above the great sandy flat of Magilligan, at the entrance of Lough Foyle.
