What is recorded here
The precise location of the medieval fish weirs within the townland of Kilbixy has not been identified. In 1476-7 Kilbixy was held by Thomas Nangle, baron of Navan, who complained that the issues of his lands there and the fish from his weirs called the "great weir" and the "castle weir" on the river Inny were being illegally taken away by members of the Dalton family. (Bradley et. al. 1985, 106).
