Deciphering place name help

SligoKilglass (Sligo)

Hi

Can anyone help decipher this place name in the baptism of Honor O'Hara, 9 Feb 1828 parish of Kilglass, Killala, Sligo please?

It's the place of residence and looks to be in Irish - Lag (or Tag) a Nonthe? See screenshot below.

Thank you.

The 1833 Tithe Applotment listings for Kilglass civil parish in Co. Sligo show a Michael O'Hara and also a Michael OHara in Culleens townland. Possibly the place name you found is within the current townland of Culleens.

Fionn,

I agree with Patricia, it looks like it is the current townland of Lackanatlieve. Another name for the townland is Leacán an tSléibhe (at this link https://www.townlands.ie/sligo/kilglass2/). This Irish version is like the screenshot. Further details can be found at this link, including historic names for the townland) https://www.logainm.ie/ga/44895.
