thumb|View from Loughshinny of Drumanagh with its [[Martello Tower]] Drumanagh () is a headland near the village of Loughshinny, in the north east of County Dublin, Ireland. It features an early 19th-century Martello tower and a large (200,000 m2) Iron Age promontory fort which has produced Roman artefacts.
Some archaeologists have suggested the fort was a bridgehead for Roman military campaigns, while others suggest it was a Roman trading colony, or at least the site of a regular trading "fair", or a native Irish settlement that traded with Roman Britain, as Roman brooches and metalware in the style of Roman Britain were found nearby.
