Drumkeeran

Drumkeeran (Irish: Droim Caorthainn),[2] also Drumkeerin, is a village and townland in County Leitrim, Ireland, located at the junction of the R280 and R200 roads.

[5] Long ago Ireland had been covered in Woodland,[6][7] a claim echoed in a 19th-century survey of Leitrim- "A hundred years ago almost the whole country was one continued, undivided forest, so that from Drumshanbo to Drumkeeran, a distance of nine or ten miles, one could travel the whole way from tree to tree by branches".

[8] These great forests in Leitrim and on the west side of Lough Allen were denuded for the making for Charcoal for Iron works around Slieve Anierin.

In 1992, the Drumkeerin Tourist and Development Company was incorporated in order to effect plans of the Community Council.

[citation needed] Drumkeerin GAA club was founded in 1933 and represents the parish area of Inishmagrath.
