Drumhillock, Gurteen
« on: Friday 08 February 08 19:32 UTC (UK) »
I am researching a family from Drumhillock, Gurteen.  Drumhillock seems to be a local name.  Does anyone know the official townland name in which Drumhillock is located?

Many thanks!

Hello Lorna,

Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland (1837) is a great site if you are having problems finding Irish townlands ... it can help identify townlands which may not be listed in any of the townland directories such as the www.seanruad.com IreAtlas website. Use the 1837 Dictionary of Samuel Lewis in conjunction with Sean Ruad's IreAtlas as this may assist in finding that elusive townland. www.from-ireland.net/lewis/allcounties.htm

There's a Gorteen town and 2 townlands with the same name in Co. Sligo- could this be what you are looking for? See www.seanruad.com site for details.

Lorna Gurteen is a village in Sligo often spelt Gorteen.
     The only Drumhillock I have heard of is in Co,Monaghan often spelt Drumhillagh.

Hello Lorna,

Here's a link for Parishes in Co. Sligo in 1837 which contains townland locations. www.sligococo.ie/library/maps/1837/index/parishTownlands/index.htm

Hello there,

Don't know if this is still a live one for you or not -

Drumhillock is just outside Gurteen, Co. Sligo.
Head out of Gurteen on the R294 to Boyle. Turn left at Mullaghroe (ie the road to Culfadda and Ballymote). If you go to Google maps and enter 'Chacefield Sligo' or 'Tawnaghmore Sligo' that's pretty much there or there abouts.
