The National Monuments Service's description
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.
