Cassaunnaneave

According to Power (1908b, 5) there was a ford here called Áth Mheadhon - the middle ford - on the N-S River Blackwater (Wth c. 250m) where there are numerous islands at a place called Casán na Naomh - the Saint's path. The ford connected a section of what he considers an ancient road (WA020-016----) from Lismore with Affane on the E bank of the river. (Power 1905, 123) Power, Rev. P.
