Meighan Residences on 1873 Marriage Register

ArmaghArmagh (Armagh)

I am trying to identify the residences listed on this marriage register entry. The residences listed on the record don't match any townland names I can find. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

I think the Mallon family were from Tullygarran. I can see a Thomas listed there in  Griffiths Valuation.  This looks like Charles Mallon  in 1901:

Can’t identify the other townland with certainty. Could be Aughantarragh or Aughantaraghan but I don’t see any Meighan/Meehans there in Griffiths.

Can you tell me how close Aughantarragh is to TULLYGARRAN? I've been searching online unsuccessfully for a period map that will show me their relative locations.  I can find a TULLYGARRAN but not Aughantarragh. 
Thank you.

Aughantarragh is near Benburb so probably about 4 miles from Tullygarran.
