description from Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837

DRUMMULLY, a parish, partly in the barony of DARTRY, county of MONAGHAN, but chiefly in that of COOLE, county of FERMANAGH, and province of ULSTER, 4 miles (W. by-S) from Clones, on the road from Dublin to Enniskillen; containing 667 inhabitants.

According to the Ordnance survey it comprises 7639 statute acres, including part of Drumkrin ; of these, 2520 are in Monaghan and 5119 in Fermanagh. The soil is generally good, and there is no waste land, but abundance of bog and limestone; about 600 acres are under water.

Among the seats are Cam, the residence of J. Hassard, Esq. ; Lake View, of D. Smith, Esq. ; and Farm Hill, of C. Crowe, Esq.

The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Clogher and patronage of the Bishop; on the demise of the incumbent of Currin, a considerable part of Drumkrin, which is now held with that parish, will be united to Drummully. The tithes amount to £19, and the glebe comprises 154 acres. The church is a small building.

In the R. C. divisions it is the head of a district, including Drummully, Drumkrin, and Galloon, and has two chapels in the last-named parish: about 60 children are educated in a public and 100 in a private school.
