“There are two townlands of Drumercorss, the second of which is sub-titled Brownhill. In the Tithe Applotment Books Longhill and Drumercross are grouped together and there is a note that ‘parts of this townland are denominated Longfield, Drumercross, Brownhill, Unchinagh and Ballinamoney.’ I take it that this Brownhill of ths MS is part of the O.S Drumercross and not connected with Cullen and Brownhill.” (Census 1821, nótaí. Bréifne 1962, 115).
