Recorded monuments
- GA088-048 Ford
Description
There is a ford across a N-S section of the River Suck at the point where it turns E to meet the River Shannon c. 6.5km to the E, and on the line of the Esker Riada that was utilised by the Slí Mór. The ford could have played a role in the Battle of Aughrim (GA087-127----) in 1691 and was probably protected at that time by the earthwork (RO056-027002-) c. 90m to the S. The ford is a broad, shallow pool with islands that was dredged in 1989. A collection of artefacts (E000537) dating from the Early Bronze Age to the Middle Ages and which is now in NMI, was recovered by local divers prior to the drainage operations.

Description
On the E bank of a N-S section of the River Suck at the point where it turns E, and c. 90m S of Correenbig ford (RO0056-027001-). This is a raised rectangular, grass-covered area (dims 29m NW-SE; 8-12m NE-SW) defined by scarps (H 1m), with traces of a bank (Wth 6m; int. H 0.1m) on the NW and SE sides and backing onto the river at W. There is a shallow fosse (Wth of base 2-3m) at NE (D 0.1m) and SE (max. D 0.8m). It is known locally as 'the Soldiers Grave' (Kelly 1990), although it likely to be been a gun-platform protecting the ford. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
