Fenagh, County Leitrim, has known settlement since the earliest of times and includes such ancient monuments as a double court tomb known as “Giants’ Graves” and a tomb known as “Dermot and Grania’s Bed“.  Two ruined churches owe their origins to a monastery founded by Saint Callin in the sixth century.  The “new” Saint Catherine’s Church (Fenagh) was built in 1787 with the financial assistance of a gift from the Board of First Fruits (fl. 1711-1833) and served the local congregation for almost two centuries before its closure in 1974.  The rehabilitation of the church has been ongoing since 1988 and visitors will see a wealth of monuments and restored stained glass dedicated mainly to the Beresford family.  The key to the church is available at the Fenagh Visitor Centre.
