Drumkeeragh

This is a page for the townland of Drumkeeragh, County Down. This townland is best known for its forest.
The only real knowledge in the wider media of this area was when a woman was murdered there in 1991, and one of the getaway vehicles from the northern bank robbery was found burnt out there in 2004.

There used to be late night parties that took place during the 90's in the forest, but they eventually went away. I have since been informed that they were taking place up until last year.

Another bit of history was the discovery of a womans body in Drumkeeragh bog in 1780. She was dressed in woollen costume, and fragments of the clothing can still be seen in the National Museum of Ireland.
