What is recorded here

Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as 'the foord of Ballavullin [Ballywillin]' (Simington 1961, vol. 10, 45). This ford appears to have been located on the E edge of the medieval barony of Granard. The present road bridge over the river, which crosses the county boundary between Longford and Cavan, connecting Granard to Ballyjamesdfuff, may have been built on its site.
