- Ballintra County Donegal is in the Parish off Drumholm. In a field down by Drumholm there were found skeletons. The skeletons were under a big flag. It was believed a battle was fought there a thousand years ago. The hair was on their heads. Some people think there was a battle fought by Hugh O’Donnell and Hugh O’Neill against the English.
