Sheskin

Sheskin (Irish: Seiscenn), traditionally divided into Sheskinmor and Sheskinbeg, is a townland in the north of County Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland. It is in the foothills of Sliabh Beagh. Sheskin is part of the Parish of Tydavnet, situated about 3 miles from the village of Scotstown and about 8 miles from Monaghan town. Sheskin is straddled in the east by the River Blackwater and in the south by one of its tributaries, which converge at the south eastern corner of the townland.
