Athleague is a small parish that crosses the Roscommon/ Galway border. The smaller portion of Athleague (17 townlands) is in Galway; the larger (24 townlands) is in Roscommon.

AF mentioned "Killine." This could refer to Killian, the Barony within which Athleague in Galway resides.

The third place name is undecipherable.
It appears to be "Grandyh...er" or "Ged..yh..r" but nothing remotely like these shows up in any list of Galway or Roscommon place names. It may have been written down phonetically. We suspect it may be Srahaunnagort (aka Thornfield) Athleague. www.townlands.ie/galway/killian/killeroran/srahaunnagort/
