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. Archaeological monitoring (08N0240) of the route of a sewage pipe uncovered part of the W wall of the building in the Square (McCarthy 2008).
