Gleoir. — According to a local antiquary, who was a very good Irish scholar and a living library of Irish traditions, the late Shane Bane Tympany (Mac an Tiompánaigh), this was the ancient name of a small river, now commonly called the river of Coillin, or Liathmhuine, anglicé Leaffony, which rises to the south of the townland of Townalaghta in the parish of Kilglass, barony of Tireragh and county of Sligo, and flowing nearly in a northern direction, empties itself into the bay of Killala at Poll an Chaonaigh, anglicé Pollacheeny, in the townland of Cabrakeel.
