Full Description
This ferry appears on both RHP 2737, dated 1756, and the OS 1st edition map (1867), where a house and a wall around the croft is shown. The house is not shown on the OS 2nd edition map (1903).
On the Dalfaber side, a landing place (NH 9081 1375) is visible as a break in the levee, which has now become a cattle watering-place and is eroding.
On the Pityoulish side, the foundations of a house are visible on top of a flood bank alongside the march dyke, 50m from the river bank.
Willie McInnes, former tenant farmer at Dalfaber, aged 76, remembered crossing on the ferry aged about 4.
See NH91SW0050 for Ferry House.
