The parish of Kilbennan in Kilbannon owes its name to St. Benen, or Benignus, signifying the Church of Benen. He was the son of Sescan, a chief who dwelt near the modern Duleek in Meath. He was but a boy when St. Patrick visited his native district and he was so attracted to the great Apostle that he watched his every movement, followed him around, gathered flowers as an offering to him.

This ancient graveyard is across the street from this parish.
