Drummullan (meaning "ridge of the bare hill")[2] is a small village and townland in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It is west of Coagh, east of Cookstown,[3] south of Moneymore and 5miles north of Stewartstown in County Tyrone. Most of the village lies on the Moneymore to Stewartstown road, and is in the Mid-Ulster District.
Drummullan is home to Derry GAA club CLG Ógra Colmcille.
Drummullan's most famous son is the "Irish Giant" Charles Byrne, who was born in Littlebridge in 1761. His 7'7" frame made him a celebrity in England, and his skeleton was put on display at London's Royal College of Surgeons after his death.
