Granemore

Granemore

Granemore is a small townland located in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, about seven miles from Armagh City and three miles from the border town of Keady. The village consists of a shop, pub and chapel. St Mary's football grounds is home to the local Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club, Granemore GFC, which consists of both senior and underage football and camogie teams.

The local pub, The Rock Bar was attacked by loyalists in June 1976 in a planned gun and bomb attack, however a local resident left the bar as the terrorists were planting their device and therefore disrupted their plan. Although the local man was shot a number of times, he managed to survive the incident. It was later revealed that the local RUC police force based in Keady were responsible for the attack.fact|date=April 2008
