Keshcarrigan

Keshcarrigan (Irish: Ceis Charraigín, meaning 'Kesh, or causeway, near the little rock')[2] is a village in County Leitrim, Ireland.

The village of Keshcarrigan probably originates from ancient "lake dweller" human settlements of nearby Lough Scur and, in recent centuries, activities associated with Reynolds manor.

The village experienced changes in the early 21st century with over 100 new houses being built mainly as a result of a controversial government tax incentive scheme (Section 23).

[citation needed] About 1km south of the village on the road to Mohill, a small park on the shores of Keshcarrigan Lough is dedicated to the memory of Mychal Judge, chaplain of the New York Fire Department and the first recorded victim of the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.

Laheen Estate and Letterfine House (built c.1800) near Keshcarrigan are associated with the Reynolds (Lough Scur) and Peyton families, prominent local landowners who had intermarried in the early 18th century.
