Drumconra (Irish derived place name, either Droim Conradh, meaning ‘The Hill-Ridge of the Contract’ or Droim Conra, meaning ‘The Hill-Ridge belonging to Conra’) is a townland in the civil parish of Kinawley, barony of Tullyhaw, County Cavan, Ireland.[1] The townland is also called Lowforge, meaning 'The Lower Forge' belonging to the 18th century Swanlinbar Iron Works. A sub-division is called The Coal Yard. The 1938 Dúchas collection states- The Coal Yard - a field belonging to Mr. Patrick McGoldrick, Drumcondra, Swanlinbar Co Cavan. Long ago iron was smelted there and there are traces of this under each sod that is dug up.[2] Another sub-division is called The Fairy Field. The Dúchas collection states- This is owned by Mr Barney Kellaher, Drumcondra, Swanlinbar. There is a peculiar shaped stone in it which is never touched. It is said locally that one time a person who tried to remove it was found dead next morning and since then no one would touch it.
