Killeenduff ( Irish: An Cillín Dubh, meaning 'small black church') [1] is a townland within the boundaries of the civil parish of Easky, County Sligo in Ireland. Located about a mile from the village of Easky, Killeenduff has an area of approximately 4 square kilometres (1.5 sq mi). [2]
The townland is home to the "Split Rock". Local folklore holds that this rock —though actually carried to its current location by an Ice Age glacier— was split as a result of an argument between two giants. According to legend, if one walks through the split three times, it will close, entombing the person forever. [3]
Killeenduff National School, built in 1965 and extended and refurbished in 2007, is located in the area. [4]
The school was constructed in 1965 but it was extended and refurbished in 2007
