Historical county occupying almost a quarter of the total area of Northern Ireland (6)

I believe the answer is:

tyrone

(Other definitions for tyrone that I've seen before include "Traditional county of Northern Ireland" , "Irish county" , "Omagh its chief town" , "County of N. Ireland" , "An Ulster county" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
