Glenkeel () is a townland in the south west corner of the parish of Boho, in the land division of Old Barr, Barony of Magheraboy, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, OS map 20. 〔 〕 Other historical forms/interpretations of this name have included Gleann Caoil "glen of the slender person" (1833) and "narrow glen" (Joyce, 1875). This area includes the sub-townlands of Carrickaphreghaun, Carricknaboll, Cloghernavea, Lough Acrottan, Teeroe and Tullyveeny.〔 Other authors have stated that the name may derive from Bragbaid-na-Caoile. The caol being after an extraordinary monstrous serpent which spent its days in Monaghan consuming a great deal of the local produce and then it would proceed through (gleann-na-Caoile (Glenkeel, near Louch Erne, on the western side, towards Leitrim) to a nightime resting place. This continued until the arrival of St Patrick who put an end to the serpant and its travels at Lough Derg. 〔 〕 This area is notable for its geological Karst features notably forming part of the Reyfad-Glenkeel cave system and Reyfad-Carrickbeg system. Glenkeel hill () is mentioned in several historical texts. The area still retains the tradition of peat cutting.〔 == See also == * List of townlands in County Fermanagh 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glenkeel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
