The Scramogue Ambush was an ambush carried out by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) on 23 March 1921, during the Irish War of Independence. It took place in the townland of Scramogue (aka Scramoge), County Roscommon. County Roscommon was not one of the more violent areas of Ireland during the conflict.
