Ford on a bend in the River Shannon which connects Derryholmes to the townland of Carta in Co. Galway (GA101-083----). According to local tradition this was a river crossing known as 'Slaghta Ford' which was destroyed when the river was dredged during the 19th c. It may have been associated with the nearby toghers in Co. Galway (GA101-037/038). No visible surface trace survives.
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
