Killanny
Half of the parish of Killanny (Cill Eanaigh) lies in County Louth, but half of the parish is in Monaghan. It is thought possible that Killanny originally consisted of two parishes separated by the River Glyde and that following the Anglo-Norman settlement the two parts were joined.
The main Dublin- Derry road passes through Killanny. Several small lakes are to be found throughout the parish and the soil quality is superior to that of the north of Carrickmacross, reflecting the underlying limestone rock.
