История
[ редактировать ]In medieval times Drumconra was owned by the McGovern Clan and formed part of a ballybetagh spelled (variously) Aghycloony, Aghcloone, Nacloone, Naclone and Noclone (Irish derived place name Áth Chluain, meaning the ‘Ford of the Meadow’). The 1609 Baronial Map depicts the ballybetagh as Naclone.[4]
In the Plantation of Ulster by grant dated 26 June 1615, King James VI and I granted, inter alia, The precinct or parcel of Nacloone otherwise Aghcloone to Sir George Graeme and Sir Richard Graeme to form part of the Manor of Greame.[5] A history of Richard and George Graham is viewable online.[6] The Grahams took part in the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and after the war their lands were confiscated under the Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652.
By a lease dated 11 August 1736 Richard Cross of Dromomuniny, County Cavan, assigned, the lands of Hawkeswood, that is from the watercourse and Dromconra, to John Mahan, Innkeeper and William Mahan, Shopkeeper, both of Swadlingbar.[7]
The 1821 Census of Ireland spells the name as Drumcondra and states- contains 90 acres of arable pasture & meadow, 10 acres thereof being bog, & different applotments are held by people who do not inhabit it.[8]
The 1825 Tithe Applotment Books spell the name as Drumconra.[9]
The 1836 Ordnance survey Namebooks state- Freestone is procured on the ground and is used for building.
The Drumconra Valuation Office Field books are available for August 1838.[10][11]
Griffith's Valuation lists eleven landholders in the townland.[12]

Antiquities
[edit]- A medieval earthen ringfort. The 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan', Site No. 582, (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995) states- Raised circular area (int. diam. 31.5m) enclosed by a denuded inner earthen bank, a V-shaped fosse, outside of which is a possible berm enclosed by a substantial earthen bank, and a narrow external fosse. Breaks in external bank at SSE and WNW. No corresponding breaks in inner bank to indicate causewayed entrance. (CUCAP ALQ 19; ALQ 20). The 1938 Dúchas folklore collection states- There is a fort in the townland of Drumcondra near the village of Swanlinbar, Parish of Kinawley, Barony of Tullyhaw in County Cavan. It is a field owned by Mrs Young, Swanlinabar. It is a large round hill sloping down to a stream at the foot of the field. There are whitethorn bushes growing round it and a 'lone' bush in the centre. There are 4 openings on the fort and this suggests that it must have belonged to some person of importance.[18]
