Jerretspass, Armagh

Jerretspass is a small village in County Armagh. It is within the townland of Knockduff, in the civil parish of Killevy. The area had long been a pass across the bogland, once known as Lamb's Pass. The First Drumbanagher and Jerrettspass Presbyterian church was founded in 1751. A second Presbyterian Church was founded in 1801, the two churches eventually uniting in 1902, though both buldings survive. The village is within the council area of Newry, Mourne and Down.
