A fording point over the Inny River in the barony of Ardagh is described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as ‘the foord of Ballahemper’ (Simington 1961, vol. 10, 46). Emper Castle (WM010-002----) is 980m to the SW. It was located along the stretch of the Inny River that forms the boundary with the townland of Newport, Co. Longford (LF024-011----). A ford and eel weir is indicated on the Inny River between the townland of Emper and Newport, Co. Longford on the 1st ed. (1836) OS 6-inch map.
