- CO071-048 Bridge
Description
In Macroom, 3-phase sandstone road bridge (overall Wth 8.2m) crossing Sullane River (E-W). Damaged by flood in 1853 (O'Keeffe and Simington 1991, 203). Seven semicircular arches over the river with two inserted wide segmental arches on W side; remains of semicircular overflow arches on W bank. Earliest part of bridge appears to be the S side (Wth 5m); roughly cut voussoirs, pointed breakwaters. Two breakwaters rise to top of parapet wall, becoming semicircular in shape; eastern one topped by recess in parapet wall, which contains memorial to An tAthair Peadar Ua Laoghaire. Bridge widened to N by 3.2m with similar semicircular arches; third arch from E has rectangular ope (3.5m x 0.5m) in crown of arch covered by slabs and modern road surface, known locally as the "Hangman's Hole" (Barry 1985,152). Wide segmental arches on W end probably inserted after flooding, cut limestone voussoirs, prominent keystone.

Description
In graveyard (CO071-050002-), in Macroom town; former C of I parish church of Macroom. Church consists of rectangular nave with shallow apse, entrance porch near W end of S wall and 2-storey tower attached at centre of W gable. Nave lit by three windows in S wall with perpendicular-style tracery; apse lit by four pointed lancets; some late 19th/early 20th-century stained glass. Limestone baptismal font of 19th-century appearance. Apse buttressed; porch and tower have clasped buttresses, formerly surmounted by pinnacles. First floor of tower has louvred opes for bell loft. Described by Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 329) as 'a small modern edifice in the later English style, with an enriched porch, and is attached to the tower of the ancient structure'. This latter may be structure 'in good repair' in 1669 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 318). Church itself described as 'rebuilt' in 1824 (ibid., 321); attributed to George Richard Pain (Killaninand Duignan 1962, 364). Nave contains memorial plaque dated 1712, noted by Smith (1750, vol. 1, 181). Nave and tower may have been extensively remodelled in 1824, when apse and porch added.

- CO071-156 Historic town
Description
A small settlement is marked on the Down Survey (1655-6) Barony map on the E side of the Sullane River and in the vicinity of the present day town of Macroom (Maigh Chromtha). The terrier of the Down Survey Map of Muskerry Barony recorded that, 'The places of note are the towne and castle of Macrumpre [Macroom] being a market towne, one of the places of residence of the Lord Muskry, the castle being a faire and strong pile with a bane [bawn], divers houses a fort and severall offices' (Hib. Reg.). The historic town of Croom is depicted as a cluster of dwellings arranged in a linear fashion to the E of Macroom Castle (CO071-049----) and Church (CO071-050002-) on the 1655-9 Down Survey map of Macroom parish (NLI, Ms. 712-3). The terrier of the Down Survey parish map recorded in 'this Parish is the Castle and Towne of Mackrompe [Macroom] consisting of severall good Towne Houses and large cabins and in the same is a Marckett kept once every weeke' (ibid.). The present Main Street follows the line of the linear settlement depicted on the Down Survey parish map. According to Zajac et al. (1995, 67) 'a settlement may have existed in Macroom during the 13th century when a castle was built here adjacent to a fording point on the Sullane river. Until the mid-19th century the town was the joint property of the Earl of Bandon and Robert Hedges Eyre. It became the sole property of the latter who was responsible for several improvements in the town including the rebuilding of the present market house and alterations to the castle transforming it into a modern mansion. Among the industries established in Macroom in the 18th century were a distillery and a woollen mill. Rock salt was also brought from England via Cork and distributed from the town for use in salting butter for export. In the 19th century flour mills and tanyards were established.' See attached Down Survey map of Macroom parish The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

- CO071-049 Castle - tower house
Description
On E bank of Sullane river, just S of Macroom bridge (CO071-048----), within Macroom town. Castle itself, a multi-period 3-storey rectangular structure, demolished c. 1967, when a technical school was erected in its place. Smith (1750, vol. 1, 179-80) described the castle of consisting of 'two square towers about 60 feet high, with a large modern building between them'; this was converted, in early 19th century, into 'an elegant modern mansion' (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 328). Probably contemporary with this latter conversion is embattled facade, of neo-Tudor appearance, along the riverbank; part of this facade is tall square tower of 19th-century appearance (access to interior not gained by survey). Facing town square to E is embattled gateway to demesne, also of 19th-century appearance. Area between river-side facade and gateway mostly occupied by disused garage; part of its street frontage includes stone door surround with shouldered arch, possibly of 17th-century date. Castle of Mac Carthy clan, apparently 'repaired and beautified by Teigue McCarthy, who died in 1565' (Lewis ibid.). Burnt a number of times in 17th century (Healy 1988, 60-1); the restored house was burnt in 1922 (ibid.) and remained a ruin until demolished. Armorial plaque, from above the front door, now in Macroom Museum. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
