## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- LI047-022058: Bridge, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI047-022058-. Multi-arched stone bridge depicted on a map of Kilmallock town dating from c. 1600 (TCD, MS 1209/62). On this map the bridge is shown spanning the River Loobagh to the W of Kilmallock Mill (LI047-022067-) which carries the medieval road labelled on the map as 'The high way to Limericke' (ibid.). Present post 1700 stone bridge known as the North Bridge may contain early medieval fabric of the bridge depicted on the map of Kilmallock dating from c. 1600. The present bridge was described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage [NIAH] as following ; 'Five-arch road bridge over the River Loobagh, built c. 1800, rebuilt in 1916 and may contain early medieval fabric. Random coursed rubble limestone walls with cast-iron ties and inscribed plaque to west parapet wall. Dressed voussoirs to round-headed arches. Limestone and cement V-cutwaters to north elevation. Square-headed arch having concrete lintel to south. This well proportioned bridge incorporates an early limestone plaque, which is of some archaeological significance. The bridge may incorporate elements pre-dating the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As the road forms the main route leading north from Kilmallock, it is possible that a bridge was located there from the medieval period' (www.buildingsofireland.ie; Reg. No. 21813061).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
