- In former times there was a hedge school at the crossroads of Drumcree. It was called a hedge school. It was in a house. A man named Master Murphy taught in it. He was a native of Drumcree and his decendants are living in Drumcree at the present day. The thecher lived in his own house. The pupils brought the master a penny cach every week.

Mr M Reilly owns the field now.(continues on next page)
