The Redbrae Massacre was one of many massacres which took place during the Irish Rebellion of 1641. It occurred on the Drumnamether Road, a short distance from Bell's Crossroads which is located just outside the small County Armagh village of Clare, Tandragee.
The local Protestant Settlers of the area were gathered together on the hill of the Drumnamether Road and murdered by Irish Rebels in the most brutal of ways. This massacre was apart of a series of attacks by Irish Rebels throughout the area in response to Protestants from Scotland and England having settled in the area.
The name 'Redbrae' only came about as a result of the horrifying incident that took place. 'Red' signifying the blood of the innocent Protestant Settlers murdered and 'Brae' being Scottish for steep bank or hill, the very place at which the massacre occurred in 1641.
Redbrae was significant enough to be mentioned in 'Taylor and Skinner's Book of Irish Road Maps' (1777). It is also mentioned on the thirteenth page of 'The Traveller's Guide through Ireland' printed in Dublin in 1794.
Until recent years, there was a cross-like feature on the roof of a house at Redbrae. Green slates formed the cross, and being on the roof it acted as a reminder, or a memorial of what had taken place on that dreadful day.
