To the north of Eanach Dúin, and the west of Kilcoona, is the parish of Cill Éanna, which, although not large occupies a considerable extent of the lake's margin. It derives its name from Enda, or Éanna (a very common name formerly in the West), who, as already stated, is said to have been the brother of Cuana and Fursa; but, after investigating the subject, O'Donovan has left the following record: "This St. Einne is the famous Endeus of Aranmore." The parish is sometimes called Cloch an Uabhair (pronounced Clough-anoor) "The Stone of Pride," which, with the adjoining castle of the same name, can be seen on the roadside, between Baile Chláir na Gaillimhe and Áth Chinn; and there is a tradition of a celebrated witch, called Cailleach an Uabhair, "The Hag of Pride," who cast this stone hither from a distant hill, and left the marks of her thumb and three fingers upon it. It lies a few paces to the south of the castle. The old church and saint's well are to the south-east of the castle, but present no features of interest.Near this castle passes a very tempting stream for the angler, which carries off the water from Dubhloch, and some of the eastern turlochs, and delivers itself into a deep adjoining bay of Loch Coirib.

At the northem extremity of this parish, and on the high road from Gaillimh to Cong, although not within the parochial boundary, stands the little town of Headford, still called in Irish Áth Chinn, "The Ford of the Head."
