Fenagh 1250 onwards
A reference to Fenagh in the annals of Loch Ce under the date 1251 would seem to indicate that it was still in the hands of the monks. We are told of great deluge of rain on the fear of Saints Peter and Paul, as a consequence of which a mill could grind on the stream which ran from the arch to ATH-NA-FAITCHE during the time that vespers were being sung(chanted) in the church of FIODHNACH.
ATHA-NA-FAITHCHE; Not now in existence. It probably was at the point where the bridge now stands in Fenagh Village. It means the ford of the exercise grenn. Dates very likely from the days of the “CASHEL” or stone Fort.
