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,[1] and is the home of the Blacker family.[6] The Blacker family are claimed as being descended from the Viking Blacar, who was a King of Dublin.[6] On 26 February 943, Blacar defeated Muirchertach mac Néill and his army, near Armagh, allegedly by the River Bann where Carrickblacker now stands.[6]
