OF THE COUNTY OF TYRONE. 9 



The furface of the whole county is wonderfully 

 diverfified, hill and vale being the prevailing cha- 

 rac>er. 



The mountains of the greateft magnitude are in 

 the barony of Strabane. The vaft chains of the Mun- 

 terloney mountains, ftretching into the county of Derry, 

 arc the moft confiderable ; Mullaghcairn,- or Cairn- 

 togher, with Befly Bell, and Mary Gray, and many 

 others are very confiderable. Mullaghcairn is the 

 higheft mountain in the county, which I have prov- 

 ed; the next to it is Knockfowel, part of which 

 is in the county of Derry. To the above may be 

 added the mountains of Ballygawley, on the weft 

 of the barony of Dungannon, and Morley on the 

 weft of the barony of Clogher. 



In order to give the reader a more comprehenfive 

 view of the foil and furface of the county, I fhall 

 fet down Omagh, the affize town, as a common 

 centre ; and proceed with the principal roads, through- 

 out the county, to the extremities of it. But firft, 

 I fhall take a circular courfe, which will include 

 part of the barony of Omagh, the whole of the 

 barony of Clqgher, and more than two parts of 

 the barony of Dungannon. In the different excur- 

 fions, the crops ufually followed (hall be remarked, 

 which will, in fome meafurc, give an idea of the 

 quality of the foil.
