It is about three-and-a-half miles west of Armagh, and is situated within the civil parish of Eglish.[1] The townland derives its name from the Irish an Chraobh Rua, referring to the Red Branch, one of the three royal houses of Conchobar mac Nessa, legendary king of the Ulaid, at nearby Navan Fort.
