Recorded monuments

• LA016-017002 Mill - unclassified
  Description

  In undulating countryside, overlooking river. Not marked on the 1841 or 1909 eds OS 6-inch maps. Reference to corn-mills here on the Nore river (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 297). Standing remains of an 18th century mill. No earlier remains visible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 17 December 2007

• LA016-017004 Bridge
  Description

  Spanning the River Nore with nearby castle (LA016-017001-) 150m to the SE and mill site (LA016-017002-) immediately to the N. This six-arch limestone bridge (road Wth 18m) with rubble limestone cutwaters, is a multi-period structure the earlier bridge is located on the upstream or W side. The arch rings (Wth 4.65m N-S; H 3.4m) on the upriver side consist of undressed roughly cut voussoirs while those on the downriver side consist of cut stone dressed wedge shaped voussoirs. On the underside of the bridge a straight joint is clearly visible where the bridge was widened by 9.1m in the 18th century. The earlier bridge measured 5.6m E-W wide on the underside of the arch, if this bridge had a parapet wall on either side thie original road over the bridge may have measured approx. 4m. The downstream or E face was added to the bridge in the 18th century possibly when the nearby Nore Flour Mills were constructed during this period (c. 1750) The earlier bridge appears to have been contemporary with the medieval castle that is located on the ridge looking down over the crossing point of the River Nore.
