==History==
There is recorded evidence of people living and farming around the neighbourhood of Drumlane for over two thousand years. This is seen mainly on maps and on land in the form of [[ringforts]] and enclosures.
Notable historic events went recorded in the [[Annals of the Four Masters]] and in the [[Annals of Clonmacnoise]], that in 836
==Drumlane architecture==
The original monastic structures at Drumlane were built from wood gathered from the nearby oak forests, having deteriorated over centuries of weather and raids from Vikings and rival clans.
Today the buttressed ruin of Drumlane church with its round tower standing 11.6 metres tall and 15.8 metres around the base circumference represents a significant structure of the monastic period, while little remains today of the old priory buildings which fell into decay after the dissolution of the monasteries in around 1538. The abbey church was then used for Anglican worship until around 1820 before becoming abandoned and allowed to decay. All structures now come under the care and stewardship of the OPW state agency and open to visitors. The cemetery meanwhile is still in use and is maintained by local parish communities.
==Archaeology Research at Drumlane==
During the summer of 2021, a Topography and Geophysical survey was carried out of the lesser known St Mary Priory site by the local Drumlane History and Heritage Group, together with a large gathering of enthusiastic community helpers. The priory site is designated as a National Monument Ecclesiastical Residence and Field System, located in a farmer's pasture field around one hundred meters south from the church and round tower ruins. The project was financially supported by the Heritage Council, together with assistance from the Heritage Office of Cavan County Council. A resistance magnetic gradiometry survey was carried out over a large area of the field containing what was known from Ordnance Survey maps as an ecclesiastical residence. An earth resistance survey was carried out of the core area identifying the sub-surface footprint of a building measuring around 25 metres in length by 20 metres wide. Without trench digging, it is therefore reasonable to conjecture that this was in fact once a substantial range of ecclesiastical buildings, as described in historic documentation, including a chapel and accommodation for Augustinian canons from the late medieval period.{{cn|date=September 2024}}
