The Barnwell family received these lands from Strongbow following their arrival from Normandy in the 12th century. This early Norman settlement shaped the area's development for generations to come.
The name comes from the Irish word "Droimeanach", which refers to the hilly terrain that shaped the area's character. Local residents have long connected their sense of place to these natural ridges that define the landscape.
The area connects to Dublin's center through Luas trams and Dublin Bus services, making it easy to navigate. Good transport links help visitors explore the neighborhood and reach other parts of the city.
Archaeological finds from the region include Neolithic settlements, with artifacts now displayed at the National Museum. These discoveries reveal that the area was inhabited thousands of years before modern times.
