Leitrim (Counties Galway and Clare barony)

Leitrim is bounded, clockwise from the southwest, by the Clare baronies of Tulla Upper and Tulla Lower; the Galway baronies of Loughrea to the west, Kilconnell to the north, and Longford to the east; and by Lough Derg to the south and southeast.

[2] The highest peak in the barony is the Scalp (380m), part of the Slieve Aughty range.

Three rivers flow in an easterly direction to the Lough; from north to south they are the Cappagh, the Woodford, and the Coos.

[citation needed] The R353 regional road bisects the barony from east to west.

Settlements in the barony include Caherakilleen,[la 2] Kilreekill, Tynagh and Woodford in Galway, and Mountshannon and Whitegate in Clare.
