Lenaderg is a small village and townland (of 335 acres)[1] in County Down, Northern Ireland. It sits on the banks of the River Bann, about two miles from Banbridge and a half mile from the village of Lawrencetown. It is situated in the civil parish of Tullylish and the historic barony of Iveagh Lower, Upper Half.[1] In the 2001 Census it had a population of 261 people.[2] Lenaderg is within the District of Banbridge.
Its name is derived from the Irish language. One theory is that it comes from Léana Dhearg meaning "red meadow".[3] However, the townland was historically called Laraderick and Laraghderick, which is believed to be derived from Láithreach Deirce.[3]
