This townland was settled and named after the Arnot family. We are not sure of its original name, however given the close family connection to Tonitygorman it may be part of this townland.
Location
This townland is tucked in between the larger townlands of Rossbrick and Loughgare and originally the lane way to it was from the Golan Road through Rossbrick but the present resident has made a new laneway out unto Drumaa Lane which gives him access to the New Line / Dernawilt Road.
