Location of Sheeane in the Athenry Registration District?

Galway

The civil registration birth entryfor my cousin Michael Kenny lists his birth location as Sheeane in the Athenry district.A Google search for Sheeane returns no results. Can anyone shed any light on Sheeane for me? Im attaching a PDF of the register page. Thanks.

The townland is probably Sheeaun, and recorded with a variation in spelling. Sheeaun townland is in Clonkeen civil parish, and was part of Loughrea Superintendent Registrar's District, and Athenry sub-district, so fits with that birth.

see the entry on the Placename database for the townland. (note there are several different townlands in Co. Galway with the same name)
