    Ardclooney - Height of the meadow Clarisford on the Clare side a mile below Killaloe is an adaption of Air-a-Cláir - the ford of the plank, or plank bridge. It is not known for certain whether the name refers to the main ford at Killaloe or to another beside Clarisford and opposite Friars Island in the river a ford which the Friars rendered safe by constructing a bridge of clairs or planks. Most of the old people think however the latter is the real Air-a-Cláir.
