Oneilland East (from Irish Uí Nialláin, the name of an ancient Gaelic district) is a barony in the north-east of County Armagh, Northern Ireland. It is also called Clanbrasil (from Clann Bhreasail, "offspring of Breasal"). It lies in the north-east corner of the county, on the south-eastern shore of Lough Neagh and the boundary with County Down. Oneilland East is bordered by three other baronies: Oneilland West to the west; Iveagh Lower to the east; and Orior Lower to the south.

Background

History

Oneilland East along with Oneilland West used to form the barony and Plantation of Ulster precinct of Oneilland. When it was split in two, Oneilland East consisted of the barony east of the River Bann, corresponding to the ancient Irish district of Clanbrassil. Carrickblacker House is in Oneilland East, and is the home of the Blacker family. The Blacker family are claimed as being descended from the Viking Blacar, who was a King of Dublin. On 26 February 943, Blacar defeated Muirchertach mac Néill and his army, near Armagh, allegedly by the River Bann where Carrickblacker now stands.
