It is directly south of the area presently known as Coalisland[1] and east, and slightly north, of Dungannon.[2] It is situated in the historic barony of Dungannon Middle and the civil parish of Killyman and covers an area of 285 acres.[3] The barony's tax records dated 1666 list two families living in Drumkee.[4]

The name derives from the Irish: Druim Chaoich (Ridge of the Blind Man) or Druim Ceath (ridge of western aspect).[5]
