Skehana or Skehanagh [1] is a small village and townland in County Galway, Ireland. The name Skehana derives from the Irish Sceith eánach meaning "place of the whitethorn".
Together with nearby Menlough, Skehana is a half-parish within the diocesan parish of Killascobe in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tuam.[2] [3] The parish church in Skehana was built and is included on the Record of Protected Structures maintained by Galway County Council.[4]
The local Gaelic Athletic Association club, Skehana Hurling Club, fields hurling teams at underage and adult Junior A grades.[5] [6]
The ruins of an Anglo-Norman tower house, Garbally Castle, are located immediately to the west of the local national school.
