Drumaquaren, village or farm name?

[weemalla]

I have a number of ancestors where it is said that they were born/died in Drumaqueran, County Antrim, Northern Ireland eg John Moore Knox 1892 - 2 July 1985. Is Drumaqueran a town/village /area or the name of a farm/home? I cant find any reference in Google Maps etc.

It looks like it's a townland https://www.townlands.ie/antrim/dunluce-upper/kilraghts/kilroghts/drumaqueran/

Thanks. That answers my question. Much appreciated.

OpenStreetMap shows the location of Drumaqueran townland - it's east of Ballymoney.

My reading of "townlands" says persons living there were either tenants or landlord. As said in previous post i'm interested in Charles Knox 1845-31 July 1925 and wonder if his father or grandfather was the landlordof Drumaquaren. Any thoughts?
