Placename help - Carricknamulkin
« on: Wednesday 21 August 13 19:10 BST (UK) »
Anyone know anything about Carrickamulkin or Carricknamulkin near Drumquin Co Tyrone? It does not appear to be an 'official townland' so I am wondering is it a sub-division of a townland in the Drumquin area?

I'd say it's  a variation on Curraghmulkin, which is a townland in Longfield West.

Definitely it, here's your variation used in the "Commissioners of National Education in Ireland: Twelfth Report" (sounds just like an anglicised version):
