n/a
"Pinkman: Druim-Chalraighe = Ridge of the Calry (tribe or sept). The Calry were the descendants of Lewy Cal, grand uncle of Maccon, King of Ireland, in the 3rd century. There were several septs. One of them settled in North Teffia, and left its name to a hill to the south west of Ardagh – Slieve Golry, Sliabh-gCalraighe. Some of this sept may have penetrated to this point in Leitrim."
