Can we see a bit more of the marriage record, please?

Maybe you could attach a URL link.

I think the residences may be Rathmackin, generally listed as Ramackan (https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/9b31e0501b744154b4584b1dce1f859b/page/Place-Name-Info/?data_id=dataSource_1-PlaceNames_Gazeteer_No_Global_IDs_3734%3A26623), which is in Termonmaguirk civil parish Omagh registration district , cant make anything out on the dispensary district, nothing similar that I see in that area.

I see it as Ra/th/mackan too.

I'm not sure why the the 'th' didn't appear initially - sticky keys or something :-\

Any ideas on the chapel name?

Thanks for the help!

The name of the Catholic parish for that area north of Six-mile-cross is 'Ballintacker (https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0186)' which looks a little like the chapel location.

Marriage found in Ballintacker/Beragh (https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632479#page/228/mode/1up) register - same details. The main church seems to have been at Beragh, as far as I can see the other church was near Drumnakilly
