Newtowngore or Newtown Gore, known before the Plantations of Ireland as Ducarrick (Irish: An Dúcharraig, meaning 'the black rock'),[1] is a village on the R199 regional road in the south-east of County Leitrim.

[citation needed] As of the mid-19th century, and as recorded in Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland (1837), the parish was then made up of 1,500 statute acres, including a "great quantity of bog".

At that time, the village contained about 100 houses and had a "market for grain and provisions on Monday" with fairs "held in April, 4 May, 9 August, 8 October, and the last Friday in December".

Throughout at least the 19th and 20th centuries, a number of fair days were held at Newtowngore on- 25 February, 25 May, 26 June (or 28th), 25 August, 15 October, and 25 November.

[citation needed] The de Courcey family held land in the parish of Drumreilly, barony of Dromahaire in the mid-nineteenth century.
