What is recorded here

According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 261), the old road connecting the churches and castles of Killashoolan [KK009-055001- and KK009-056001-] and Ballylarkin [KK013-018001- and KK013-017001-] may still, in part, be traced. It crossed from Killashoolan by Kilrush castle [KK013-012----]; thence over the Nuenna, by a bridge now almost entirely destroyed; thence by the "monument bush," in a field in Ballylarkin, called the "Thur-duv;" and, thence, to Ballylarkin castle and church'. Slight traces of a roadway (L c. 260m) consisting of a level area (Wth 15m) with a low earthen bank on either side are visible 30m N of a ringfort (KK013-016----) running NW-SE before kinking northward towards Nuenna river.
