Historic Maps

The 1609 Bodley Map of the Barony of Clankelly (Baronie of Clancally), unfortunately, does not show Drumyarkin, but does show the neighbouring townlands of Aghnashammer and Liskilly. Where Drumyarkin is now is shown as forest and hills on the map.

Tithe Applotment Books 1832

The original records document the location as "Drumyarkin, Parish of Clones, Diocese of Clogher, County of Fermanagh, Manor of Slatmulroony".
The National Archives of Ireland have the documents listed under County Monaghan due to the Civil Parish of Clones encompassing portions of both Counties Fermanagh and Monaghan.
