Recorded monuments

• TS060-026004 Water mill - unclassified
  Description

  In fast flowing area of River Suir at Camus. No visible surface trace. Island in middle of river may have been utilised. According to Simington (1934, 376), 'Upon the s[ai]d lands stands a large stone house with a bawne about it and some cabins with a corn mill on the river of Shewir.' The Rev. Long (1896, 250-256) states that, 'several mills, the principal of which was at Camus on the Suir,' were temporal possessions of Hore Abbey and part of the diocese of Cashel and Emly.

• TS060-026005 Bridge
  Description

  Crossing the River Suir, at a right-angle. Existing circa ten arched bridge of rubble limestone with roughly dressed voussoirs and keystones. Arches are segmental to south and are obscured in places due to vegetation on bank and also extending downstream from each of the piers. Built c. 1600 and possibly partly rebuilt c. 1780 (NIAH). No visible surface trace of an earlier bridge. According to local information, the old routeway to Cashel extended (long-axis N-S) to W of Camus, via Ballynahinch Castle. This was named 'Boher bocht' meaning 'the poor way/road' and the river crossing for this route was formerly c. 1.8km to SSW (ibid). The present road is apparently a modern section of road from Dundrum-Cashel. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
