DRUMMENREAS etc. > >Was this townland non-existant by 1858? The townland of DRUMMANREAGH is listed in a book published in Donaghmoyne in 1986. DRUMMANREAGH = "The little stripped ridge". It is in the Broomfield district of that parish. It was spelled DRUMMENREAS in the Tithe Applotment Index. At least I assume they are the same townland as no other of the 112 townlands in Donaghmoyne is close to those spellings, except for possibly, DRUMBERAGH, in the Lisdoonan district, where one of the 17 WOODS sponsors of the book now lives. There are 16 BURNS and 25 DUFFYs listed as sponsors also. A Frank Duffy authored the book about the 100 year history of Gaelic football in that parish.
