What is recorded here
Drumanagh Well is a hidden spring inside an ancient fort, marked on maps but lost beneath years of growing grass. It may have given water to people long before roads or houses appeared, and it still gives water, though nobody knows where.
This is a natural spring which lies within the defences of the promontory fort at Drumanagh. Marked on the 1837 OS map its site is completely overgrown.
