Keenagh (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 a pub, it lies 14 km (8.7 mi) south of Longford Town. There is also a GAA club in the village and a newly constructed community centre.
In the period 2000 to 2007 many new and unnecessary houses were built around Keenagh[2], due to the tax incentives available in the area, and are now vacant or incomplete constituting Ghost Estates.
