Killeany is located on
the coast road between Kilronan, the main ferry port, and the
airport. In Irish “Killeany” is “Cill Einne” which literally
means “Enda’s Church”, reflecting the fact that St. Enda
established one of the earliest monasteries in Ireland near this
spot. The nearby cemetery, is still in use, and is said to
include St Enda’s grave. |

Le village de Killeany se situe sur la route côtière entre
Kilronan et l'aéroport. En irlandais "Killeany" se traduit par "Cill
Éinne", ce qui signifie "l'Eglise d'Enda", indiquant que le
moine Saint Enda créa l'un des premiers monastères d'Irlande
près de cet endroit. Le cimetière voisin, encore en usage,
abriterait la tombe de Saint Enda. |
