- There is a tradition of how the parish of Drumholm got its name. In the townland of Dromore there is a green knoll between two small lakes. In the time of the Danish people in Ireland there was a battle fought between these two lakes. There were thousands killed and there is a large height in which they are buried. Then the governor told the soldiers to drum home and this potatoes parish has been called Drumholm since.
