"Clonfeacle, a parish, partly in the barony of ARMAGH, and partly in that of O'NEILLAND WEST, county of ARMAGH, but chiefly in the barony of DUNGANNON, county of TYRONE, and province of ULSTER, 5-1/2 miles (N. N. W.) from Armagh; containing, with the districts of Derrygortrevy, Moy, and Blackwatertown, (each of which is separately described) 19,547 inhabitants. ... The parish is intersected by the river Blackwater, over which are several large and handsome stone bridges ; and comprises, according to the Ordnance survey, 26,218 statute acres, of which 21,582 re in Tyrone, and 4636 in Armagh. ... The scenery is pleasingly diversified and beautifully picturesque; the glen through which the Blackwater flows is highly romantic, and the canal, when completed, will add to the interest of the landscape. The principal seats are Dartrey Lodge, the residence of W. Olpherts, Esq. ; the Argory, of W. McGeough Bond, Esq. ; and Tullydoey, of J. Eyre Jackson, Esq. at which place is also the residence of T. Eyre, Esq. The weaving of linen is carried on extensively by the farmers and cottiers at their own dwellings ; and at Tullydoey is an extensive bleach-green."
[From the Clonfeacle segment in Lewis' Topographical Dictionary (1837)]
