In the vicinity of Old Bridge. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) the town 'hath the Accomodation of a stone bridge together with two Greist mills on the same' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 385, 388). In the Settlement of 1666 a colonel Booker was granted a mill in Bridge St. formerly the property of Thomas White fitz Mathew (Burke 1907, 260). It is possible that one of these mills was the 'Manor Mill' which was rebuilt as a creamery, although according to Lyons (1936, 291), this was 'essentially a part of the South [Bridge] Gate'. There is no visible trace of these mills (TS083-019015- and TS083-019101-) above ground. The precise location of these mills is unknown (Farrelly and FitzPatrick 1993, 79-80).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
