Situated above the steep W-facing slope of the SSW-NNE Owenasack stream. According to Power (1952, 23) the name Killeenagh is derived from Cillíneach - the little church, and a church and bullaun stone were identified here (Power 1952, 23).

The church in Killeenagh North is believed to have been built in the early medieval period, likely by a local monastic community. It is associated with an ecclesiastical site that includes a bullaun stone, suggesting a Christian foundation, possibly dedicated to a local saint, though specific details on its builder or dedication remain unclear.
