Moneymore

Moneymore (from Irish Muine Mór, meaning 'large thicket or large hill')[1] is a village and townland in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

The river rises on a large hill, Slieve Gallion (one of the Sperrins), which has a radio tower on top.

During The Troubles, seven people were killed in or near Moneymore in violence related to the conflict, six of them by the Provisional IRA and one by the UDA.

The most notable building in the town is the 17th century Plantation house, Springhill, built and owned by the Conyngham, later Lenox-Conyngham family but since 1957 in the ownership of the National Trust.

Moneymore is classified as a village by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) (i.e. with population between 1,000 and 2,250 people).
