Drumcrow

Drumcrow (locally [ˌdrömˈkroː], from Irish Droim Cró 'bloody ridge'[2]) is a townland lying within the civil parish of Kilcronaghan, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

[3] Drumcrow is suggested to derive its name from the Irish Droim Cró, meaning "bloody ridge".

This is based upon the context of earlier forms of the name, which suggested the use of the noun cró, which means "blood, gore".

An early Irish poem makes mention of a Droim Cró (now Drumcree) in County Westmeath, which was the site of a battle with the editor remarking that the final element of the name meant "blood, gore".
