Cannonhill, Omagh

It is located off the Kevlin Road It is said that the old church at Drumragh graveyard was demolished by Cromwellian troops who fired their cannon from the present-day Cannonhill area of Omagh. Indeed, local farmers are said to have dug up cannon balls while ploughing nearby fields. (This I find hard to believe as Cannon Hill is several miles away)
