Where is this place? "Glanagimlagh" or "Glanagimlogh"

On an 1864 marriage record (which appears, oddly enough, in duplicate -- the one registry says "cancelled" and refers to the other, where it also appears) the address of the bride, Mary Wallace, is given as Glanagimlogh or -lagh. The address of the groom, Michael Laffey, is "Toorina, Mullaglass" which puts him on the Renvyle peninsula, I think. But I'm mystified about the bride. I can't find anything like this in the gazetteers I have access to. The cancelled entry is from Renvyle; a note there says the marriage was solemnized in Clonbur District Oughterard Union. If someone can locate Glanagimlagh for me I'd be very grateful!
