Goulane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Goulane (An Gabhlán (Thiar) in Irish) is a small village located two miles southeast of Clifden on the N59 to Galway. It has a population of 100. To the north of the village is a hilly area which leads to the river. To the south is Killywongaun and a by-road which leads to Clifden and the Dooneen area. The name derives from the Irish gabhlán (thiar) meaning small fork (west, to distinguish it from An Gabhlán Thoir in nearby Carna).
