n/a	"Pinkman: Druim-Cubhra = Sweet scented ridge. Dorsum oderiferum (O’Donovan). It was so called, according to local tradition, from the many sweetly smelling herbs it produces. The Four Masters refer to this place under the year 1401. “Cathal Mac Rannall, Chief of Muintir Eolais, was slain at Druim Cubhra by Geoffry, the son of Melaghlin Mac Rannall.” Dr. O’Donovan adds “Druim-Cubhra, now Drumcoora, a townland in the parish of Cill Tathchomhairc, or Kiltoghert, in Co. Leitrim.” Drumcoora is now in the Parish of Murhaun, or Drumshanbo, anciently both were one parish. "	Nóta Nóta eolais
