“There is a large stone in Ballyhannon Farm convenient ro Culshainroge Farm.”
(continued from previous page)Quin parish. The well is situated on the boundary between the parish of Quin and Doora.
Portion of the old road over which Daniel OConnell travelled from Limerick to Ennis passed through the townlands of Ballymarkham, Deerpar, Ballykilty, Aylecotty Andsollas and Blackwarl. The road led over the River Rive. Convenient to the bridge was an Inn. At this Inn Daniel often stopped, and people from Quin went to meet him here. There is no trace of the inn to be seen now, but up to comparatively recent times a large stone rested on the wall that marks the site of the Inn. On the stone was inscribed "Food for man and beast." It is said that the stone was removed to the residence of the Protestant Bishop of Limerick.
This old road was the main artery between Limerick and Ennis. Long ago there was a ford at Ardsollus, where the bridge above mentioned was later built
