Finn-Ros: Enda (Tir Enna)

clipped from generation13.com

The Book of Fenagh equates Cenél Enda extending from the river Errity to Barnesmore, barony of Tir Hugh, to Sruell in the barony of Banagh, in the county of Donegal. It is said the north-western limit was Farnagh in the parish of Aughnis, barony of Kilmacrenan. The eastern limit of his lands was the river Finn. Historians have also placed this early area on the borders of modern co. Donegal and Tyrone.

Located in northern County Leitrim, south of Dartry, in the present barony of Dromahaire (e.g. Ballinaglera parish).
  • M1241, Teige O'Conor plundered Dartry and Clann-Fearmaighe in the county of Leitrim.
  • Cenél Enda (or Tir Enna), just southwest of Inishowen, in nothern co. Donegal, ruled by septs whose genealogies are tied to the Cenél Eoghain; Northern Uí Neill
    Magh Ene was located at the southern tip of Co. Donegal, perhaps alluding to the area described in the Book of Fenagh. The latter area was later dominated by septs of the Cenél Conaill
