Derryart is a townland in the Civil Parish of Tomregan, Barony of Knockninny, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The townland name is an anglicisation of the Gaelic placename “Doire Airt” which means ‘Art’s Oakwood’.〔http://www.placenamesni.org/historicforms.php?getPnameId=20289〕 It is bounded on the north by Drumany More townland, on the east by Derrychorran & Derrylaney townlands, on the south by Garvary townland and on the west by Derrintony townland. Its chief geographical features are the Duvoge River and a drumlin hill reaching to 60 metres above sea-level. The townland is traversed by Derryart Lane. Derryart covers an area of 114 statute acres. The townland formed part of the ballybethagh of Calvagh in medieval times. At the beginning of the 17th century it was owned jointly by Bryan McPhilip O’Reyly and Edward Rutlidge but was confiscated by the Crown in the 1609 Ulster Plantation and it formed part of the half-territory of Aughrin which was granted to Sir Hugh Culme in 1610. Culme later relinquished his claim to the Crown, perhaps because there was confusion at the time as to whether the townland formed part of County Fermanagh or County Cavan. By an order of the Lord Deputy dated 14 October 1612 the townland was granted, inter alia, to Lady Margaret O’Neill, the widow of Sir Hugh Maguire deceased. In 1641 and also in 1670 it was owned by Sir William Balfour (general). The Tithe Applotment Books for 1827 list the following tithepayers in the townland- Shearson, Chambers, Graves.〔()''Tithe Applotment Books 1827''〕 The population of the townland in the 1841 census was 38. Griffith's Valuation of 1857 lists seven occupiers in the townland.〔()''Griffith’s Valuation 1857''〕 In the 1901 census of Ireland, there are seven families listed in the townland.〔()''Census of Ireland 1901''.〕 In the 1911 census of Ireland, there are seven families listed in the townland.〔()''Census of Ireland 1911''.〕 There are no historic sites in the townland. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Derryart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
