recess, nook of foxes
Seannach, a variant form of sionnach, is well attested in placenames. In Co. Monaghan, see for example bf Lios na Seannach / Lisnashannagh (#39278).
Note that the second element in this placename cannot derive from the Irish personal name Seanach, as none of the evidence shows the expected gen. sg. S(h)eanaigh.
