Place & story

A riverbank alteration

James Lyttleton’s 2001 monitoring account for a warehouse site on Mogeely Road describes a modern gravel-filled cut parallel to the River Kiltha’s west bank. He interpreted it as work to consolidate the bank and prevent minor flooding. No archaeological features or small finds were uncovered in the monitored foundation pads; that conclusion concerns this particular development site. [2]

Eight occupied houses in 1911

The census recorded twenty-eight inhabitants in Grange, thirteen male and fifteen female. Eight of its nine houses were occupied and one empty. The population had been thirty in 1891 and thirty-one in 1901. Its area was ninety-six acres, one rood and thirty-six perches, within Mogeely parish, Imokilly barony and Castlemartyr electoral division and dispensary district, in Midleton Poor Law Union. [3]
