Object description

Drumlane is the name given to a townland situated near the village of Milltown, area 85.76 hectares , set in a rich fertile landscape of County Cavan, Ireland. The Drumlane name denotes the drumlin region of low hilly ribbed moraines formed over a limestone bedrock created by the movement of glacial ice and melt water during the last Ice Age. Several townlands in this neighbourhood are prefixed with the word 'Drum', while several others are prefixed with the word 'Derry' which is Irish for Oak-wood, giving us a clear description of the local natural terrain before human habitation.
