Toome

Toome or Toomebridge (from Irish Tuaim, meaning 'tumulus')[2] is a small village and townland on the northwest corner of Lough Neagh in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.

It lies in the civil parish of Duneane in the former barony of Toome Upper,[2] and is in the Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council area.

He was hanged on 28 February 1800 "near the bridge of Toome", which had been partially destroyed by rebels in 1798 to prevent the arrival of reinforcements from west of the River Bann.

In 1852, when the road was being reconstructed, a nephew had McCorley's body exhumed and given a proper burial in an unmarked grave in Duneane.

Construction of a bypass began in May 2002 and was completed in March 2004, shortening journey times and relieving congestion in the village.

Toome is classified as a small village or hamlet by the NI Statistics and Research Agency (i.e. with population between 500 and 1,000).
