Sometimes, the townland is shown in baptism records, but I can’t see that he has done in the ones I have looked at.

As you can see from the John Gresham site, Burns is a popular name in the civil parish.

Married in Leitrim Catholic Church in 1827, so that should narrow down the townlands.

Marriages would usually take place in the bride’s parish church

The Tithe Applotments Books only start at M for Leitrim Townland (maybe earlier pages lost/destroyed)

There is a Hugh Burns in a neighbouring townland - Backaderry $:-\$
