Drum (Irish: An Droim, meaning 'the ridge')[1] is a village and townland in the west of County Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland.
Local people arranged signage at Drum Lough, which has a high duck population.
[4] The village lies on a minor road off the main Monaghan Town to Cootehill road,[4] and the nearest larger settlements are Cootehill and Newbliss, site of the national writers' and artists' retreat facility, the Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig.
A blue plaque on the wall of the Protestant Hall commemorates John Deyell, who later founded a settlement in Canada.
The village shop and the last local public house closed in the 2010s, and the nearest retail facilities are now in Cootehill.
