What is recorded here
Weir marks a rapids fishery so old it tangled church and state around 1200. That is not a passive stream; it is a lived boundary where people depended on the water giving up its catch. The odd part is not the fish but the dispute: a local current became large enough to break institutions.
According to O'Flaherty (2010, 2) 'the rapids at Curragour supported a fishery ... sufficiently well established to have been a bone of contention between church and state around 1200.'
