Drummully or Drumully (Irish: Droim Ailí;[1] "rocky ridge"[2]) is an electoral division (ED) in the west of County Monaghan in Ireland. Known as the Sixteen Townlands[3][4] to locals and as Coleman's Island[5] or the Clonoony salient[6] to the security forces, it is a pene-enclave almost completely surrounded by County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. Since the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922 (following the partition of Ireland in 1921), the Fermanagh–Monaghan border has formed part of the international border between the United Kingdom and what is now the Republic of Ireland, leaving Drummully as a practical enclave, connected to the rest of the republic only by an unbridged 110-metre (360 ft) length of the Finn River.[5][7] The area is accessed via the Clones–Butlersbridge road, numbered N54 in the Republic and A3 in Northern Ireland.
The civil parish of Drummully includes the Monaghan ED and the surrounding parts of Fermanagh; the townland of Drummully, with the ruins of the medieval parish church, lies in the Fermanagh portion of the parish.[2] The two county Fermanagh EDs separating Drummully from the republic are Clonkeelan to the east and Derrysteaton to the southwest.[8]The Connons is a name given sometimes to Drummully ED,[5][9] and sometimes to the entire district between Clones and Redhills, County Cavan, encompassing Clonkeelan, Drummully, and Derrysteaton.[4][8][10] Connons Catholic church and Connons community hall are in Drummully ED.
