“Corliss School is about two miles from where a hedge school was conducted by a man named Spurry...”
(ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)a mile from Corliss School, and said to have got his name from a duel between a Scotchman, named Douglas, and Myles O'Reilly, commonly known as "The Slasher". This duel is said to have taken place shortly after the battle of Bunburb. The local tradition is, that Douglas came to avenge the death of his brother who was killed by Myles on the battlefield. Douglass called at O'Reilly's home, Kevitt Castle, near Crossdoney, and asked to see "The Slasher", and his father said that he was absent in Killeshandra. Old O'Reilly asked Douglas what was his business with Myles. On hearing it the old man advised Douglas not to have anything to do with Myles, who, he said, was sure to have the better of the fight. Douglas paid no heed to the old man's advise; but went towards Killeshandra to meet Myles. The two men are said to have met at this ford, and to have fought until Douglas was killed. This bridge is now where the ford was. Hence the name. This bridge is on the main road, and about midway between Crossdoney and Killeshandra.
