Meenagolan (Irish: Mín na Gualann, meaning 'field of the shoulder')[1] is a townland in Southwest of County Donegal, Ireland in the civil and church parish of Killaghtee.[2][3] The main geographical feature is Croagh Lough.[2] The lough is currently used as a reservoir for the nearby town of Ardara.[4]
Large tracts of the townland are now owned by Coillte, the Irish forestry state body,[5] and planted with fir.
