Tirkennedy

The barony encompasses 265 townlands across seven civil parishes, including parts of Enniskillen east of the River Erne and settlements like Ballinamallard.

In 1887, Tirkennedy covered 56,423 acres with a population of 14,472, as documented in John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles.

The name derives from Irish Tír Cheannada, referencing Fergus son of Cremthann, known as Cennfhota, who lived in the fifth century.

The territory spans 238.4 square kilometers, bordering Lower Lough Erne to the west and sharing boundaries with seven other baronies.

The MacManus family maintained hereditary supervision of fisheries under Maguire rule, while the Devine sept served as Lords until the fifteenth century.
