Hogan (1860-1, 360-61) describes a campaign, in the mid-9th century, by a royal party headed by Niall Caille to invade Ossory. He states that the invading force, ‘seem to have been travelling from the direction of “Ennis-nag,” and on the north bank of the King’s River, then called the “Callann” (O’Heerin). They probably crossed the Nore at “Ath-na-mult,” and proposed to cross the “Kells-grange” into that of “Rathduff,” near the present corn-mills, apparently the most ancient ford over this river below Kells, and from which the church of “Kilree” the topographical outlines of the present day show a road to have existed at some former time’. The precise location of this route is unknown.
