Description
Situated on the floor of the W-E Bride river valley, c. 1km S of the river. There are references to a church at Tallow, possibly a pre-Anglo-Norman foundation, in 1199 (Bradley et al. 1989, vol. 1, 115) and there was a significant settlement here in the 13th century, although it did not have the status of a town. 14th-century sources suggest that the town was part of Inchiquin manor which had been granted to the Fitzgeralds in the late 12th century. It is described as a 'decayed town' in 1587 (ibid., 116) when it was granted to Sir Walter Raleigh, who re-founded the town after it had been burned-out by the Irish in 1598. At this time it was described as consisting of about 60 households, all English. In 1604 Tallow was granted to Sir Richard Boyle, Earl of Cork, who had established an iron works here by 1608. This was the source of the town's prosperity and growth in the early 17th century, and in 1613 Tallow was incorporated as a borough. Boyle built a courthouse, a prison and a market-house, and he probably laid out the town along two intersecting streets. According to Smith (1746, 64) Tallow was defended by earthen ramparts in 1641, but there is no other record of an enclosing feature. No monuments or structures predating 1700 are visible but there are records of two 17th-century graveslabs in the graveyard (Coleman 1913-14) and the ruins of a church are recorded by Power (1912, 199).

- WA028-015001 Church
Description
Situated on the floor of the W-E Bride river valley, c. 1km S of the river. This may be the location of the church of Tulachratha, confirmed to the Bishop of Cork in 1199, but there are no other references until 1469 when the vicarage of Tollacrahy was united with the Augustinian abbey of Molana (WA037-011001-). Sir Richard Boyle, the first Earl of Cork, invested in the parish church in 1616, and according to a contemporary document he built a new church (Ryland 1824, 342). Power (1896b, 214) recorded traces of an earlier church (dims. c. 12m x c. 7m) within the graveyard (WA028-015007-) of the late 18th century Churh of Ireland church which is now abandoned, but the earlier remains can no longer be traced, and two 17th-century memorials (ibid. 215) are also missing.

- WA028-015003 Forge
Description
Situated on the floor of the W-E Bride river valley, c. 1km S of the river. Sir Richard Boyle, the first Earl of Cork, developed the iron industry at Tallow, which was known as Tullach an Iarainn (the hill of iron), in the early 17th century. A mill had been set up by 1608 and a report of 1622 says that there were two iron mills at Tallow. The iron-works seem to have survived the disturbances of the 1640s, but by 1685 they were defunct according to Sir Richard Cox (Walton 1987, 28). A forge is marked on a Bateman map of 1717 (NLI: ms. 6148, 21), which is probably the same feature. Its location is uncertain but it may have been on the site of the saw mill marked on the 1840 and 1927eds of the OS 6-inch map at the end of Mill Lane, although the standing remains appear to be 18th or 19th century in date (Bradley et al. 1989, vol. 1, 121-2).

Description
Situated on the floor of the W-E Bride river valley, c. 1km S of the river. Sir Richard Boyle, the first Earl of Cork, developed Tallow, which was incorporated as a borough in 1613. According to a contemporary document he built a market-house, which may have incorporated the courthouse and prison that the same document also ascribes to him (Ryland 1824, 342). The market house and jail are also ascribed to the Earl by Smith (1746, 40), and the market house is marked in the centre of Convent St. opposite West St. on a map by Richard Scalé (NLI: ms. 7218, 1), dated 1774.
