DRUMLARGAN, a parish, in the barony of UPPER-DEECE,
county of MEATH, and province of LEINSTER,
1¾ mile (S. by E.) from Summerhill, on the road to Kilcock
and Dublin; containing, in 1831, 148 inhabitants,
but the population has since decreased. It is a rectory,
in the diocese of Meath, and forms part of the union of
Raddonstown: the tithes amount to £36. In the R. C.
divisions it forms part of the union or district of Summerhill.
There are remains of a rath, which seems to
have connected the fortifications and religious houses
surrounding Kilmore with the outposts of Lynch's castle,
at Summerhill, the noble remains of which are yet
standing in Lord Longford's demesne.
