Laureneraut or Crickeen??

When looking at some Ireland Civil record I noticed some records mentioned people have a residence called Laureneraut (not sure if that is spelled correctly - bad handwriting)). When I go to 1901 or 1911 Ireland census I can not seem to come up with that location anywhere. Maybe I have it misspelled. Is on on the census reports anywhere? I was thinking that it might have something to do with a location called Crickeen but I just don't know. I attached a copy of a birth record for a Patrick Curran showing that name

I am not from Ireland so I am not familiar with the areas

Can anyone help figure this out?

I can't find that specific townland either (if it is a townland), but the form indcates that the records are for County Cavan, and the parish may be Kinawley, because some of the other locations mentioned (such as Cullion, Drumbrughas, and Gortmore) are townlands in that parish.  You can see a list of the townlands in that parish here:  https://www.townlands.ie/cavan/kinawley2/

Kinawley is actually the name of the civil parish.  The Catholic parish is called Kinnally, and it straddles the border with County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland.  The Catholic parish records for Kinnally are available online going back to 1835, at this link:  https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0845
