County Tyrone Geology

indo — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:05:37 +0000

GEOLOGY

In Tyrone is the only field which offers much scope for the prospector, for it is very probable that here the Coal Measures dip under the Triassic sandstones to the east. The coal is of the bituminous type and occurs in thick seams. One of these, the Annagher seam, is 9 ft. thick. Deposits of fireclay and coal are being worked in the vicinity of Coal Island. Lignite is found at Sandy Bay on the eastern shores of Lough Neagh.

The Coal Island district is the only one in Ireland where true fireclay occurs, and here fireclay and sanitary goods arc manufactured. There seems, too, to be a prospect of a fuller development of this industry. The district is connected with Belfast by rail, and a canal runs to Lough Neagh, from which lake goods can easily be distributed to various centres, also by canal.

In Tyrone (Bed and Breakfasts, Tyrone, Ireland), a good road metal is found in a diorite near Cookstown.

Antiquities

The 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 at 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

Clogher (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

indo — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:43:33 +0000

The 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 over 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
Tyrone (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 Derry 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.
