I would like to ad a few comments. They may not get you further to the truth.

I have just translated and posted an article on the NI border at http://home.worldonline.dk/~jesniel/border/ontheniborder.htm
Basicly GB and IE have since 1922 not agreed on the border, and maybe each side have their version of the map, thus the enclave.
I have been doing some internet searching of that border and especially around Clones (http://www.clones.ie), but did not found any of interest. I do like the way the road following the Ulster Canal keep crossing the border.

I was looking in an old encyclopedia (the 80'es) at my Mums place at X-mas. It's a great way to get some border inspiration. I also noticed a Canal Zone map, and that map show that there was a coridor from Panama (eastern side) into Colon.

on http://www.newafrica.com/maps is a (C)2000 site, of which I would like to steal their map for "our" African Tripoint site. Very strange, but click on South Africa or Namibia - Walvis Bay is still an exclave.
