Forty-six inhabitants
Drumcliff had forty-six inhabitants in 1901, twenty-six male and twenty female, in ten occupied houses. The comparison columns record ninety-six inhabitants in 1881 and eighty-one in 1891, with fifteen houses at each earlier census. A footnote attached to the 1901 population attributes its decrease to removals and emigration. The townland appears in Drumcliff parish and Islands barony, within Ennis Rural electoral division, Ennis No. 1 dispensary district and Ennis Poor Law Union. Its recorded area was 1,093 acres, three roods and three perches. [2]
