Spital Bridge
About half a mile from Kilmallock on the main road from Kilmallock to Charleville there is a bridge called "Spital Bridge", which is called after "Spital" or "Hospital" which was situated at the bridge. About 20 years ago the land in which the hospital was situated was owned by a man named "Jeremiah O Donnell." One day they were making drains in the field and when they had the work half-done, bones were found which were afterwards recognised to be human. This also adds to the proof that there was an hospital in this particular field.

The town of Bruff is situated fifteen miles to the south of Limerick city. The name Bruff or Brúgh comes from an old fort that is situated in the neighbourhood. The remains of the De Lacey castle are still to be seen on the right bank of the (r) Morning Star river, south-west of the town. The fort which is situated on the other side of the river has a diameter of 150 feet and a double rampart 12 feet high in some places all rougd it.
