What is recorded here

Grange held a clustered settlement near the Camoge River during the medieval period, though its exact boundary has faded from memory. People likely crossed the water at the bridge or ford, built homes close together, and sustained a local community before regional conflicts disrupted the area. The name survived through bridge references and later maps, preserving a human presence that formal records no longer define.

The precise location of a medieval clustered settlement in the townland of Grange has not been identified. Depicted as a settlement cluster on the Down Survey Barony map of Smallcounty (Hib. Reg.). Mentioned in the 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick (Simington 1938, 104). Possibly refers to a settlement annotated 'Sixmilebridge' on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map and as 'Grange' on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch. This area is located 65m S of a bridge (LI023-063002-) crossing the Camoge River. The fording point or Bridge of 'Sixmilebridge' is depicted on the Down Survey map of Small County Barony.
