"Pinkman: Coill-Uí-Eanachar = O’Hanagher’s wood. O’Donovan deals with this name twice on the Ordnance Field name sheets of the County Leitrim. First among the townland names of the parish of Mohill, where he makes the English spelling Killinaker. Then he has it among the Annaduff names, where he makes it Killyanagher. Killyanagher is the correct spelling, and it represents the local pronunciation to-day. Killyanagher he makes Coill-Uí-Eanachair, O’Hanagher’s wood."
