Drummacoorin

Drummacoorin (from Irish: Droim Achadh an Fhuarain meaning "ridge of the field of the spring well") is situated in the area of Boho in South West Fermanagh in the old Barony of Clanawley.^[1] There are also reports of the area variously being known as Drommcruorin(1609) and Druim ic Cuaireann or MacCurrin's ridge(1833).^[2]

Drummacoorin is notable due to its archeological finds which include a Bronze Age sword which is dated at approximately 1000 BC (displayed in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford) and Neolithic axe heads which were discovered in the area in 2008.^[1]
