Marked on all OS eds. An ancient fording point on the River Erne which forms the boundary between counties Cavan and Fermanagh. The name 'Bloody Pass' commemorates an engagement (see CV011-027----) between a small party of Enniskilleners and a detachment of King James' army, c. 31 July 1689, in which the Jacobite force was routed and many drowned while attempting the pass. The dead are said to have been buried in Galloon burial ground (CV011-016----) c. 70m to SE. A modern bridge now spans the River Erne at this location. (Davies 1948, 95; Henry 1987, 25; O'Donovan 1995, no. 1888)
