- (continued from previous page)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.
