Description
According to the terrier or commentary of the Down Survey (1656-8) map of Fenagh parish Duffiagh O’Duiganane owned 163 acres (Nos 71, 71a) at Drumeany (Drumany) but most of this land was in timber. A castle on the property is not mentioned, but most of the land in Fenagh parish was then owned by members of the O’Duignan family who were historians and ollamhs (teachers) to the Mac Raghnall of Conmaicne and other Gaelic families in north Connaught and north Leinster during the Middle Ages (MacNamee 1954, 630). Drumany castle is now in Corragoly townland on a slight rise in an undulating, low-lying landscape. A fragment of a low vault of mortared limestone survives (Wth 4.5m; L 1.56m; H 1.9m).
