The townland of Edenaveys is in the parish of Kildarton in Armagh County. It is labelled number 10 on the map.
Paterson (Armachiana, Vol. 16) notes:
Edenaveys. 'the hill brow of the ravens'. Eden (eudan) is a common term for the forehead but topographically denotes a hill-brow. It is in itself the name of a few places and forms the beginning of more than 100 other names, some in Co. Armagh such as Edenderry, the hill-brow of the oakwood, etc. The raven is designated by the word 'fiach'. It was at one time to be found in every county but is now somewhat rare. (p.23)
