Keenagh or Kenagh (Irish: Caonach, meaning "moss"[1]) is a village in County Longford, Ireland. It is situated on the R397 near the Royal Canal.
A small village with two churches (Catholic and Church of Ireland), a couple of shops and three pubs, it lies 14 km (8.7 mi) south of Longford Town. There is also a GAA club in the village and a community centre.
Corlea Trackway is an Iron Age trackway near the village.
In the period 2000 to 2007 many new houses were built around Keenagh, due to the tax incentives available in the area and without direct consideration to demand - many are now vacant or incomplete constituting ghost estates.[2]
