Donemana through the years...
The town was established in the early 17th century as part of the Plantation of Ulster, instigated by James I in 1609. Land in the area was granted to John Drummond who established the village, building a bawn (an enclosed, fortified farmyard, designed as a place of refuge for settlers in case of attack), 10 wicker-work houses, a watermill for grinding corn.
Today Donemana is renowned throughout Ireland for its thriving and highly successful cricket team, which was established in 1888.
