The Parish has a colourful
history and this is detailed in the following
web-pages. Local historic sites include the Deer Park (Kiltierney),
which is an ancient religious settlement. Drumskinney Stone
Circle, Moneyvriece Moate and Oghill Tower to name but a
few.
Ederney’s old Townhall, the Glendarragh Wishing Well, St.
Joseph’s Church and the churches in Montiagh and Bannagh are
also interesting landmarks that particularly characterize
the Parish.
Numerous
raths and forts in the locality of the town in Drumkeen
overlooking the town and in Ederney townland itself tell of
occupation of the area to at least the Iron Age and the
impressive necropolis [graveyard] of nearby Kiltierney tell
of a
 civilization about the Glendarragh Valley which is
nearly as old as human habitation in Ireland itself.
