What is recorded here
According to Sherlock (1909-11, 305), 'there was a ford (KA011-036----) at Leixlip and an ancient bridge at the Salmon Leap. This, except one arch which still stands, was carried away by a great flood shortly before 1646'. Fitzgerald (1896-99, 402), shows a photograph of this arch at the Salmon Leap. There was also a weir here (KD011-017001-). Cross-reference with DU017-087----.
