Unlike other upland villages, Glenmalure -named Drumgoff in many publications- is a dispersed farming community, centred on a cross-roads and an old -but outstandingly modernised- coaching inn. The hamlet extends along the Glenmalure valley floor north-west to Barravore and down-valley to Kirakee and Greenan, some 5 km to the southeast.
