The National Monuments Service's description
Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as 'a foord called Ballagurtcullan', located at a 'brooke mearing between Ardagh and Doumming [Druming] in the barony of Moydow' (Simington 1961, vol. 10, 47). A 'Ford & F.S.' (foot-stone) marked on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map at the junction of both parishes may be the ford referred to. However, no visible remains of it or the foot-stone survive.
