What is recorded here

An Inquisition of 1614 makes reference to a fishing weir in existence in Dunganstown in 1597. This was probably on the same site as the weir marked on the 1839 'OS 6-inch' map. (Went 1954, 234) Reference: Went A.E.J. 1954 'Notes on the Fisheries of the River Barrow' in The Journal of Kildare Archaeological Society Vol 13, 234.
