Drumherriff House is probably in the townland of Drumherriff, about 2-1/2 miles NNW of Leitrim village/town. Drumherriff is right along the Shannon River border with Roscommon.........although, cryptically, the Townland Index maps indicate a small portion of the townland either "in" or just across the Shannon. That would indicate that the border might not be down the middle of the river. Of course, these townland maps are based on the 1st and 2nd edition six-inch maps, so perhaps the inconsistency was sorted-out in 1898 when things like this were corrected. There are about 10 buildings currently in the townland. If Drumherriff House was an estate or manor house, I can see two possible locations in the townland where such a place might exist. Both are at the end of long driveways and are suitable isolated. The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim doesn't mention such a place in Drumherriff. I think that's all I've got. .............................................................................. ... Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
