I think I may have mapped those. It was a while ago, and I had just started with boundaries. I remember being very confused.

If you look at http://www.placenamesni.org/map.php <http://www.placenamesni.org/map.php> and zoom in to the Drummaul area, you can see that they distinguish between Ahoghill/Drummaul (Ballybollen townland), Drummaul/Antrim (just Maghereagh townland), as well as Drummaul on its own (which contains the townland of the same name and many others). Placename search for Ballybollen on the Placenamesni.org <http://placenamesni.org/> site gives the 1851 parish as Ahoghill/Drummaul as is the current parish. On this definitive site, Magherreagh is said to be, in the Additional Information, 3/4 in Drummaul par, 1/4 in Antrim par. Which 3/4, it does not seem to indicate.

I know we cannot use this site information as is, but it would seem to suggest something more complicated than a simple Drummaul Parish.
