• TS088-038 Ford
  Description

  Crossing the River Tar which flows roughly N-S at this point. There is no evidence of any physical structure. At the time of the inspection the river was c. 0.6m high at this point and flowing quite fast. It is likely that this ford was utilised by the occupants of the castle (TS088-029----) in Frehans townland. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 04 December 2013

The area is heavily overgrown with gorse, heather and ferns. A trackway runs E-W roughly where the enclosure is located. The enclosure was identified from an aerial photograph taken in May 1977 (GSI S. 723/4) and is not well defined on the photograph. There is no visible trace of this monument at ground level.
