Ennisnag

Ennisnag

Ennisnag ( _ga. Inis-Snag) is a Protestant Church that lies beside the Kings River, one mile north of Stoneyford village in County Kilkenny, Ireland. The first reference to the church is as a prebend (land gift) in the Papal taxation of 1291, hence the Catholic graveyard. Among those buried there is Hubert Butler, the Anglo-Irish essayist.

The patron saint of Ennisnag was Saint Mogue also known as Saint Aedan of Ferns. The Irish name, "Mó Aód Óg", means My little Aedh. Tobermogue, or St. Mogues holy well, can be seen along the roadside 300 yards North of the churchyard. It is now in the form of a County Council pump erected in 1948.
