What is recorded here

Death and distance both shrink at a ford where the old road climbs into Mounthall's churchyard. Water does the work of judgement: too deep, you turn back; clear enough, you carry what you can. The Burying Bush waits above, not as a warning but as a witness.

Unlocated ford within townland described by Carrigan as an old road that leads up the old churchyard of Mounthall and crossed by a ford from Ballina up to the 'Burying Bush' (LA011-015002-) (Carrigan 1905, p. 151). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007
