• CO026-084003 Bridge
  Description

  Slightly hump-backed road bridge (long axis E-W) over Awbeg River and mill race for corn mill (15202), at E side of Castletownroche. Three arches of medieval bridge (Wth 3.5m) survive at W end of upstream side. Central pointed segmental arch (span 3m) with rough long voussoirs, arch on E side replaced with modern flat arch in 1990, flat segmental arch (span c. 3m) on W side with rough voussoirs. Piers vary in thickness from 2m->3m. Bridge widened on downstream (S) side by c. 4m with segmental arches, dressed voussoirs. When bridge widened, the east end of bridge was replaced with two segmental arches (span 6m and 2m) inserted over millrace of corn mill in early-19th century, larger arch over mill race fed by weir built diagonally across river on upstream side. Coursed ashlar parapet throughout with overhanging limestone coping, tied together with iron bars. Pointed segmental arch similar to those at Buttevant bridge (14811) which O'Keeffe and Simington (1991, 144) dated to 13th century. Bridge depicted on Down Survey (1655-6) barony map.

• CO026-091 Mill - corn
  Description

  On E bank of Awebeg River, on E side of Castletownroche; c. 500m NE of woollen mill (15233). Five-storey rectangular mill (26m E-W; 7.4m N-S), incorporating an earlier mill. Earlier section (10.93m E-W; 7.4m N-S) had wheel-pit alongside W wall, was 4-bays wide (S) and probably 5-storeys high. Mill extended to W by 3 bays (L c. 10m), enclosing wheel- pit, and to E by 1 bay (L 2.73m), probably at same time- date stone under 3rd-floor window in E gable reads "R W 1828". In order to create symmetrical elevation two bays of earlier section were blocked up. Extended structure is gable ended, with chimney atop each gable. Both sections of random-rubble limestone construction. Wheel-pit has semi-circular arched opening at either end to accommodate mill race. It contained a large '12ft x 20ft' poncelot water wheel; the curved sluice gate remains (FFIAS, 8). Carved on stone at side of wheel pit is "J. & R. Webb"; scratched on cement repair is "Racks 1912". In 1984 all wooden floors remained, with wooden uprights supporting the joists. Segment of cast-iron pit wheel lay in wheel pit, and in situ were various pieces of milling machinery including cockle drum and screen, cleaning machines, bolter, large hoppers, bucket elevators, and sack hoist; this machinery had been powered by a number of electric motors (Rynne, 1997, 5). By 1998 mill undergoing extensive renovation: wooden floors being replaced by concrete floors at different levels, and all milling machinery and pit wheel segment removed to storage. Lower section of E wall of earlier section recently demolished, and narrow brick wall built atop foundations of W wall. Three-storey, gable-ended grain-drying kiln, short distance outside E end of N wall, indicated on 1842 OS 6-inch map as freestanding, later connected to mill by a passage with iron fire-proof doors. Kiln contained vertical early-20th century oil-fired, electrically driven fan grain-drying kiln. One storey, broad gable ended structure attached to N wall of kiln, wide brick arch in N elevation, chimney atop gable. Kiln and projection demolished in 1997. Two storey, stone built lean-to at W end of N elevation of mill straddling overflow channel. Mill yard to S with weigh bridge, enclosed to E and S by L-shaped, 2-storey store, accommodating office on 1st floor with fine Victorian wooden detail (Rynne ibid., 6). Entrance gate with stone-built pillars, between store/offices and mill, gives access from road. Modern rectangular structure (long axis N-S), built atop stone foundations of earlier building, on W side of yard. Millrace (Wth. 7.62m; recently recut), taken by weir from river c. 150m to N, passes under bridge (14838) and flows alongside E bank of river. A mill is shown here on Down Survey (1655-6) barony map , with a second mill opposite on W bank of river. According to Grove White (1905-25, vol. 2, 142) in the early 19th century there was a mill here 'grinding for the public'; this was taken over by Robert Webb who enlarged the mill (ibid.), probably in 1828 (see above). It burnt down c. 1837 but was again rebuilt; in 1887 the 'old-fashioned millstones' were replaced by 'a modern roller plant' (ibid.).

• CO026-092 Battery
  Description

  This record was listed in the RMP (1998) as 'Potential site - cartographic'. The source for this record is Smith's, The ancient and present state of the county of Cork (1892, vol. 1), p. 388, which states that opposite the Castle 'is a field, which they call the Camp-field; from whence, a battery was erected by a party of the parliament forces, anno 1649, against the castle, which was then defended by the lady of lord Roche, for several days, in a gallant manner …' The name 'Camp Field' appears on the 1st ed. of the OS 6-inch map (not in antiquarian font) was repeated on the 1905 ed. As a 'battery' is specifically mentioned by Smith, this record has been reclassified as 'Battery (possible)'.
