[Leaffaney River]
"This is the only river worthy of notice in this parish. It rises S. of Townalaghta townland, passes thro the townland of Culleens, Leaffany, and Cabra, winding its way amidst gravel and large granite bolders: in summer it is very small, scarcely perceptible amidst the gravel & stones, but in winter sends forth a powerful stream or mountain torrent. General width about 30 feet" [Desc. Rem.];
