Fenagh

The little village of Fenagh is a short distance from Ballinamore. It is noteworthy because of its historical associations with 2 church ruins located on the site of an earlier monastery, founded by St. Caillin in the 6th century. There are a number of standing stones in the are which represent the petrified bodies of druids who reputedly attempted to expel St. Caillin from here. There are also a number of other prehistoric remains located in or near the village such as a portal tomb, which is said to be the burial place of the great King Conal Gulben. Nineteen Gaelic Kings are said to be buried in the graveyard. The area is surrounded by a multitude of small lakes making the area quite scenic to explore.
