Description
A rectangular-shaped earthwork which is hachured on the OS 25-inch map appears to mark the site of Reboge Castle. This earthwork is depicted on the revised OS 6-inch where it is shown standing immediately S of the reservoir belonging to the Reboge Water Works. The monument depicted on the OS map consists of a rectangular-shaped area (approx. dims. 45m NE-SW x 55m NW-SE) defined by a scarp and external fosse with entrance gap at NNE. William Eyre's 1752 map titled 'A colored draught of the country round Limerick' shows Reboge Castle in roughly the same location as this earthwork (Hodkinson 2007, 51). The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that Thomas Arthur Alderman and late of Limerick held in Reboge a 'ruinous castle an orchard, and a water Corne Mill' (Simington 1938, 481). Reboge Castle described by Westropp (1906-7, 82) as following; 'T. Arthur at his death owned the C[astle]. of Rebogge or Reibieg (Inq. Exch. 14). 1633 Nic. Arthur held Rebucke C[astle]. (lb., Car. I., 112). 1657 T. Arthur held a ruinous C[astle]. there (C.S. xxix., p. 32, and D.S.A., 13). Duplicate entry with LI005-064----. See attached 1657 Down Survey map of St. Patrick's parish (NLI, MS 718) showing Reboge Castle which is depicted as a tall tower house like structure with lower two storey house or hall running off SE face of tower.

A map of the Limerick area detailing the 1691 siege by Jean de Bodt, (https://militarymaps.rct.uk/other-17th-century-conflicts/siege-of-limerick-1691-an-exact-survey-and-ground) shows a building labelled "(illegible) mill" at a crossroad in the eastern quadrant. The lane running directly to the Shannon is presumably the line of the present day Anglers Walk. The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that Thomas Arthur Alderman and late of Limerick held in Reboge a 'ruinous castle an orchard, and a water Corne Mill' (Simington 1938, 481).
