Drumaness is a small village and local ward in the rolling drumlin landscape of County Down, falling within the Newry, Mourne and Down district of Northern Ireland. It lies a short distance from Ballynahinch and offers easy access to the scenic foothills of the Mourne Mountains, making it a quiet rural spot with countryside views and local lanes.

Historically the area grew from traditional agriculture with links to the local linen and milling trades, and today it combines farming, small local businesses and a significant number of commuters who travel to larger towns and cities such as Belfast. Community life is lively for a settlement of its size, centred on local churches, a community hall, school and a range of sports and social organisations that help preserve a distinct local identity.
