An Irish manuscript now lost but mentioned by Geoffrey Keating in his Foras feasa ar Éirinn. In his prologue he lists the Leabhar Chluana h-Eidhneach Fionntain i Laoighis (‘The book of Clonenagh of Fintan in Laoighis’) among the books of learning (senchas) that were still in existence in his time, whether in original or copied form. A number of further references and citations by Keating suggest that it contained a set of annals, which as Joan Radner has argued, may be related to the now Fragmentary annals of Ireland.

Date

1152 x 1634?

The latest event cited by Keating from the annals of Clonenagh is the Synod of Kells in 1152. Unless this represents a later addition to the manuscript, the annals must have been compiled after that date, though how much later is unknown. The completion of Keating’s work (c.1634) provides an outer limit.
