What is recorded here

Identified by J. O'Donovan c. 1837 as the ford of Ath Slisean on the NE-SW Owenur River where Manus O'Conor defeated his brother Cathal in 1288 (AFM vol. 3, 447), and where William Burke fought Roderic O'Conor in 1309 (AFM vol. 3, 493). The river has been drained and straightened and the stream is now crossed by a four-arched bridge. Moated site (RO017-151----) is c. 100m W of the bridge.
