In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Killeany in Arran like this:
KILLEANY, or KILLANEY, a village, in the parish of ARRANMORE, barony of ARRAN, county of GALWAY, and province of CONNAUGHT, on the north-east side of the island of Arranmore; containing 974 inhabitants. It is a coast-guard station in the Galway district, and is also a station for pilots. The inhabitants are generally fishermen, who have 39 hookers for fishing and carrying kelp to Galway: there is a small pier at the upper end of the bay.—See ARRAN ISLANDS.
