The information contained in this article was compiled from the following sources:

- Ch-2 of ‘Old Dromore’ published 1987 by P. O’Gallachair. Father Paddy Gallagher, Bundoran-born, was the longest serving curate (1963-78), of Dromore Tyrone. He was also Editor of the Clogher Record and for over thirty years Editor of the Donegal Annual. ‘Old Dromore’ is presently out of print. My copy was given to me by Father McAtee, June of 2012, on my return home.

- The “Ordnance Survey Memoirs of Ireland, Parishes of County Tyrone 1, 1821, 1823, 1831-36, North, West and South Tyrone”. “OSM-1834” The number of houses and inhabitants, arable acres, and acres of mountain and bog.

- The Tithe Applotment 1834, Dromore, Tyrone. (Surnames by Townland are given under this WEB link.) Compiled between 1823 and 1837 in order to determine the amount which occupiers of agricultural holdings over one acre should pay in tithes to the Church of Ireland (the main Protestant church and the church established by the State until its dis-establishment in 1871). The number of Holdings/Surnames is given.

- The Census of Ireland, Co. Tyrone 1881; Part I; Area, Houses, and Population; Vol. III, Province of Ulster, No. 9 County of Tyrone; Info from the table comparing the 1841 to 1881 census for Dromore Parish, by townland, including houses and population.

- The Census of Ireland, Co. Tyrone 1901; Part I; Area, Houses, and Population; Vol. III, Province of Ulster, No. 9 County of Tyrone; Info from the table comparing the 1881 to 1901 census for Dromore Parish, by townland, including houses and population.

- Hearth Money Rolls of 1666; was levied half yearly by the Sheriff of each county on the basis of lists of the names of householders compiled by local Justices of the Peace. The list of the households required to pay the Hearth Tax became known as the Hearth Money Rolls, which were arranged by county, barony, parish, and townland. The tax was sometimes collected over an area known as a 'walk', which was based on both the town and a large rural area outside the town. This is why you will see multiple townlands, for one enrty. The surname could have been in either townland.

Note 1: On the Ordnance Survey Memoirs and the 1834 Tithe Applotment, acres were “Irish or Plantation acres”, not English statute acres. The Ordnance Survey maps used the English statute acre measurement. The English statute acre is also used on the 1841, and latter, census and the Griffith’s Valuation of 1864. The Irish acre is 1.62 times larger than the English statute acre. The difference between the Irish acre and the statute acre arises from the fact that the Irish mile is ¹⁴⁄₁₁ miles (1.273 miles (2.049 km)). Irish Acres X 1.62 = English Standard Acres

“Those who know the value of these ancient names as badges of personal identification will continue to use them, because they have served our people so well for so long, ….. not to mention those who have inherited our rich heritage of familiar placenames.”

Townlands of Dromore Parish County Tyrone.

Note 2: To the East of Carnny and Tattycor, on the map above, are the townlands of Coyagh, Coyagh Glebe and Drumderg Glebe (Drumderg). The Parish of Donacavey lies in this area on the Parish map above. These townlands, in some form, are listed under the Parish of Dromore on the 1666 Hearth Money Rolls, the 1834 Tithe Applotment, the 1864 Griffith’s Valuation and all of the censuses from 1841 to 1911. They DO NOT appear on the Dromore Townland list of ‘Old Dromore’ published 1987 by P. O’Gallachair the Dromore Townland Map (above). Here lies the difference between the Civil vs Ecclesiastical parish. In his work, HEARTH-MONEY AND SUBSIDY ROLLS : CO. TYRONE (CLOGHER DIOCESE) 1965, P. O’Gallachair states “CO. TYRONE (CLOGHER DIOCESE) It will be noted that some denominations, like the present townlands, are found listed under different parishes in 1666 from where they are today, e.g. p. 256 of record: "Drumderg and Cony" (Coyagh) are listed under Dromore Parish in 1666, but are now in Donaghcavey Parish, for the past century (Cf. McKenna, Parish of Dromore, 1921, pp. 8, 47).” The townlands in the ecclesiastical, Catholic Parishes of the Clogher Diocese, changed in the mid 19^th century. They did not under the civil parishes.

Back Ground
One cannot attempt a study of Townland and placenames with out first exploring the term Townland, itself.
A townland or bally (Irish: baile fearainn) is a small geographical division of land used in Ireland. The townland system is of Gaelic origin, pre-dating the Norman invasion, and most have names of Irish Gaelic origin. However, some townland names and boundaries come from Norman manors, plantation divisions, or later creations of the Ordnance Survey.
In Ireland, a townland is the smallest administrative division of land. Whilst the concept of townlands is based on the Gaelic system of land division, it was in the 1600s that they became mapped and defined by the English administration for the purpose of portioning the land for investors or grants. The first official evidence of the existence of this Gaelic land division system can be found in church records from before the 12th century.
The term baile, anglicised as "bally", is the most dominant element used in Irish townland names. Whilst today the term "bally" denotes a town or urban settlement, its precise meaning in ancient Ireland is unclear, as towns had no place in Gaelic social organization. The modern Irish term for a townland is baile fearainn (plural: bailte fearainn). The term fearainn means "land, territory, quarter".
The Normans, despite not having a serious influence on townland names, adapted some of them for their own use, possibly seeing a similarity between the Gaelic baile and the Norman bailey, both of which meant a settlement.
Throughout most of Ulster, townlands were known as "ballyboes" (Irish: baile bó, meaning "cow land" and represented an area of pastoral economic value.
In County Cavan, similar units were called "polls", and in counties Fermangh and Monaghan they were known as "tates" or "taths". In regard to tates, modern townlands with the prefix tat- are confined almost exclusively to the diocese of Clogher (which covers counties Fermanagh, Monaghan, and Clogher barony in County Tyrone), and it cannot be confused with any other Irish word.
In County Tyrone the following hierarchy of land division was used: "ballybetagh" (Irish: baile biataigh, meaning "victualler's place"), "ballyboe", "sessiagh" (Irish: séú cuid, meaning sixth part of a quarter), "gort" and "quarter" (Irish:ceathrú). In County Fermanagh it was: "ballybetagh", "quarter" and "tate". Further sub-divisions in Fermanagh appear to be related to liquid or grain measures such as "gallons", "pottles", and "pints".
In Ulster the ballybetagh was the territorial unit controlled by an Irish sept, typically containing around 16 townlands. Fragmentation of ballybetaghs resulted in units consisting of four, eight, and twelve townlands. One of these fragmented units, the "quarter" (representing a quarter of a ballybetagh), was the universal land denomination recorded in the 1608 survey for County Donegal. In the early 17th century, 20% of the total area of western Ulster was under the control of the church. These "termon" lands consisted likewise of ballybetaghs and ballyboes, but were held by erenaghs instead of sept leaders.
Thomas Larcom, the first director of the Ordnance Survey of Ireland, made a study of the ancient land divisions of Ireland and summarized the traditional hierarchy of land divisions thus:
10 acres - 1 Gneeve; 2 Gneeves - 1 Sessiagh; 3 Sessiaghs - 1 Tate or Ballyboe; 2 Ballyboes - 1 Ploughland, Seisreagh or Carrow; 4 Ploughlands - 1 Ballybetagh, or Townland; 30 Ballybetaghs - Triocha Céad or Barony. The Ordnance Survey maps used the statute acre measurement.
Townlands vary in size from the smallest, of less than an acre (Old Church Yard, Carrickmore, parish of Termonmagurk, County Tyrone).
The ballyboe (a townland unit used in Ulster) was described in 1608 as containing sixty acres of arable land, meadow, and pasture, however this was misleading as the size of townlands under the Gaelic system varied depending upon their quality, situation, and economic potential. This economic potential ranged from the extent of land required to graze cattle to the land required to support several families. The highest density of townland units recorded in Ulster in 1609 corresponds to the areas with the highest land valuations in the 1860s.
It seems that many moorland areas were not divided into townlands until fairly recently. These areas were "formerly shared as a common summer pasturage by the people of a whole parish or barony". The Ordnance Survey for taxation purposes, documented and standardized the boundaries of the more than 60,000 townlands in Ireland. This process often involved dividing or amalgamation of existing townlands, and defining townland boundaries in areas such as mountain or bog land that had previously been outside the townland system.

In the days of the O’Neills, what size was the parish of Dromore? An old survey gives us the boundaries of the civil parish then, the very same as those of today’s Catholic parish:

This parish meereth on ye east with ye towneland of Tonnagh in yt part of ye parish of Donnoghcavagh yt lyeth in the Barony of Omagh & soe goeth southward in a line to Knockneean in the parish of Kilskirry in ye barony aforesaid, & there runeth from thence westward to Shed (Tedd) in the parish of Templemaghery in ye county of Fermanagh, & from thence goeth a line northward to Aghadullagranna, in ye parish of Dromragh in the Barony of Omagh, & from thence runeth a lyne eastward to Tattemony in yt part of ye parish of Donaghcavagh yt lyeth in the sd. Barony & from thence runeth a lyne northward yt closeth with the towneland of Tonnagh aforesaid, out of this sd. parish runeth ye river of Gouland wch had formerly a bridge over it, but now borne away. There being also a church in ye sd parish wch was ye parish church.

At the time, the parish of Dromore had two “ballybetaghs” or estates. One “Ballinegranaghie” in the townland of Cranny. The other, “Ballinegallvolly”, the Irish form Baile na nGall-bhaili’: The ballibetagh of the foreign homesteads survives in the townlands of Galbally and NewPark. Remains can be found today in the crannóg (man made island) on Goalbally Lough and two ringed forts. The ring-forts of the western part of the parish are present today. One is southeast of Galbally Lough. The other is west in Newpark (formerly Galbally). The “little island” mentioned above is also there. Foreign warriors or troops from the Hebrides and Argyll, brought in by O’Neill, most likely gave name to Galbally. These troops were a standing army to Tir Eoghain. It was Donall O’Neill, King of Tir Eoghain who first introduced these Gail-Gaeil (foreign Irish) and settled them into the territories. Many families of these tall fighting men were given lands by Irish lords from the mid-thirteenth century on. O’Neill’s gallowglasses were among the most famous of them all-the MacDonnells and their relations, the MacSorleys. These surnames are common in Dromore and Kilskeery parish today.

“Many of the old Irish names have been corrupted with the English Conquest and later with the change here to English speech. Many others have been lost altogether. As a result, it is difficult today to discern the correct meanings of the old Irish placenames. But most of them can be explained by comparing the different spellings of them over the past few centuries. Below an effort is made to do this. First listed are the townland names alphabetically, followed by a rendering of the original Irish forms with the meanings in English. Next, other variant forms, found in the past, are given, including the only other sources to suggest meanings for the placenames. These were the Ordnance Survey Field Namebooks of the 1830’s and the little book by the Tyrone author, P. McAleer, Townland Names of County Tyrone, now out of print, updated, but written in the first decade of the 20^th century. Other placenames, in the townland, follow, with the Irish form and the meaning in English.”

The first list of Dromore Parishioners available is of those who paid the hearth tax in 1666. There were fifty-six Dromore taxpayer, when the parish population was only a few hundred at the most. It was a tax of 2 shillings on every hearth and fire-place.

It is not to be found in the lease of April 14, 1727, from Henry Mervyn to Guy Carleton of Rossfad, Fermanagh, who received permission from Mervyn “to build a new mill or mills on the land of Mahagart….” (Registry of deeds, Dublin: vol. 54, p.274). This old mill, not marked on today’s O.S.map, was also on McGrath’s land, where the “Shelling Hill” is still pointed out. The second is Magheragart Donnell. The trird townland of the name is marked on the O.S. map, (L,5,6) as “Magheragart or Sessiaghs”, and adjoins the other two, to the east. Sessiags is the englished form of “Seisi’och”, a sixth, an old Irish land measurement. It contains the “Middle Island”, “Small Island”, and “Sessiaghs Hill”, which is on Michael Donaghey’s property.

NEWPARK
This is the only townland with an English name in the parish, although the word, “park” is really the Irish word, “pa’ic”, a field. Our first reference to it is a deed of Oct. q9, 1764, where it is refered to as “Derganah otherwise Newpark”, which gave the impression that Newpark was originally part of Dergany (Registry of Deeds, Dublin: Vol. 240, p.18). Lord Belmore lists these lands as belonging to his ancestors in 1777, where he mentions a list of rents from various places here. Right after “Galbolly”, on the next line is “Do. The Parck” (Belmore, Two Ulster Manors, 342). From this it would seem that Newpark was formerly part of Galbally townland.

Polfore and Aughlish townlands are marked on the Down Survey Map of 1657 under the common name, Edergould, (Eadarghabha’il: between the river forks), and this was all churchland then. The name, Edergould, confused writers like Belmore The Irish Historical Atlas (p60), who identified it with another Edergould, north of here, near Omagh.
