Other historical forms/interpretations of the name Glenkeel have included
An Gleann Caol, meaning "the glen of the slender person" (1833) or "the narrow glen" (Joyce, 1875). Other authors have stated that the name may derive from Bragbaid-na-Caoile. The caol being after an extraordinary monstrous serpent which spent its days in Monaghan consuming a great deal of the local produce and then it would proceed through (gleann-na-Caoile (Glenkeel, near Louch Erne, on the western side, towards Leitrim) to a nighttime resting place. This continued until the arrival of
St Patrick who put an end to the serpent and its travels at
Lough Derg. == See also ==
