Audrey,

Clonfeacle is about 40 - 45 miles from Ballinderry. It is in the Moy locality. You get to Moy by joining the M1 at Lisburn (Exit 6) and leaving the M1 for Moy at Tamnamore (Exit 14). The distances shown are the distances from Moy (Softkey Journey Planner). I'm sorry I am unable to provide a map. I just noticed the has been posted in Co. Armagh. Audrey, please trust me. I'm doing my best to give you directions. Never mind the county in which this has been posted - it's on the Tyrone - Armagh border. Tell people you are looking for Clonfeacle near " the Moy ". Don't forget that " the ". It'll make you sound like a local.  All this chattering is causing me to miss out a bit. Just as well I checked.

Tamnamore (exit 14)   
Turn to M1;A4     4.5   
Turn to      B131  4.2   
Follow Rt   B106  3.7
Follow Rt   B106  3.5
Follow Lt   B106  3.1
Follow Lt   B106  2.5
Follow Rt   B106  2.3
Follow Rt   B106  2.1
Follow Rt   B106  1.4
Stay on     B106  1.0
Turn to      B106  0.1

If you are not somewhere close to Clonfeacle never mind.
That place across the road looks a good spot for lunch.
(The Journey Planner does not show townlands)

Audrey, not sure if the following will help you visualise things a bit better:

http://scripts.ireland.com/ancestor/fuses/townlands/index.cfm?fuseaction=TownlandsInCivil&civilparishid=365&civilparish=Clonfeacle&citycounty=Armagh

Clonfeacle, Armagh being 4 on the map and Clonfeacle, Tyrone being 15.

Then look at http://scripts.ireland.com/ancestor/fuses/townlands/index.cfm?fuseaction=TownlandsInCivil&civilparishid=2339&civilparish=Clonfeacle&citycounty=Tyrone to see how Clonfeacle, Tyrone (which is in the Poor Law Union of Dungannon) fits in with rest of Tyrone.

So, as you can see and as has already been mentioned by Christopher, the two Clonfeacles were adjacent to each (ie straddled the County border).

Audrey, how many Clonfeacles do you want ? The AA used to do excellent flip over maps.
No trouble I'll do my best to get another one, but it's hard work giving you the mileages.
Scotmum, who's doing the navigating here ? No, I'm not losing my temper 
Those maps of yours have big black blobs on them. Have none of you found a better map ?

My source of reference here is seanruad IreAtlas Townland Data Base.

There's something I have not seen before here.
Clonfeacle is shown as a townland of xx acres. Any ideas about the xx


Townland -  Clonfeacle
County    -   Tyrone
Barony    -    Dungannon Middle
Civil Parish - Clonfeacle
PLU          -   Dungannon

Have you seen the following map, Audrey?

It is for Clonfeacle parish, Tyrone and shows the townlands within same.  Kilnacart is towards the top left hand side.

[Christopher]

Audrey, do you have a laptop with Softkey's Journey Planner or something similar ?
It may not show townlands but it will show roads.
Is there a specific Church or graveyard in the townland of Clonfeacle that you are seeking ?

[scotmum]

I wasn't 'navigating' Christopher, merely giving Audrey a few maps to look at in a general  historical context  .
