   St. Enda's. Behind the old church in Killanny is the ruins of an old monastery. The site of this monastery was for many years used as a grave-yard but it was closed about fifteen years ago and a new one was opened. This monastery was founded by the monks of the Cistercian Order. It was a branch of the monastery at Mellifont Abbey. It was destroyed by Cromwell's guns after the siege of Drogheda. Written by:- Julia Daly Drumard
