Skehana

Skehana or Skehanagh (Irish: An Sceachánach)[1] is a small village and townland in County Galway, Ireland.

The name Skehana derives from the Irish Sceith eánach meaning "place of the whitethorn".

Together with nearby Menlough, Skehana is a half-parish within the diocesan parish of Killascobe in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tuam.

[2][3] The parish church in Skehana was built c. 1861 and is included on the Record of Protected Structures maintained by Galway County Council.

[5][6] The ruins of an Anglo-Norman tower house, Garbally Castle, are located immediately to the west of the local national school.
