Colless Ford
Larkin (Sl)
1836
It is called in Irish Ath Achoilin’s – Vadum Collini. Tradition further says that at this ford O’Conor always opposed O’Donnell...There is a curious coincidence between this tradition and O’Conor’s marching, A.D. 1536, to Braghait Choillighe to oppose O’Conor, which if it be the same with Bradchoillin, lies between this ford and Benbulbin ... Collins, from whom the ford took its denomination, lived there at the time of O’Donnell. He is said to have been a very cruel rascal, who beheaded every person detected by him making an attempt to cross the ford...
