Drimnagh

Drimnagh es un suburbio de Dublín, Irlanda, situado en la zona sur de la ciudad de Walkinstown, Crumlin e Inchicore, bordeando el Canal Grand de Irlanda. (el Magnífico canal).

Historia medieval

El nombre Drimnagh deriva de la vieja palabra irlandesa druimneach que significa tierras surcadas. Las tierras de Drimnagh les fueron quitadas a los nativos por Strongbow quien se las entregó a la familia Barnwell. Los Barnwell llegaron a Irlanda en 1167 con Strongbow y se asentaron en Berehaven en Munster. Los nativos de la provincia rápidamente atacaron su casa y mataron a la familia excepto a un joven llamado Hugo de Barnwell. Al joven le entregaron las tierras de Drimnagh como compensación. Las tierras y el castillo se consideraron lugares seguros al estar suficientemente lejos de la montañas de Dublín, las cuales consistían en fortalezas de los nativos de la isla.
