Heritage Guide No. 111 KILMALLOCK: A WALLED TOWN IN LIMERICK
Kilmallock is a small town in south-west County Limerick, approximately 32km from Limerick city on the medieval main road between the cities of Limerick and Cork. It is in a beautiful setting, with the Ballyhoura Hills to the south and east. It is bounded to the east by the River Loobagh, one of the principal tributaries of the River Maigue, and to the west by a former lake, now drained and afforrested. Kilmallock (Cill Mocheallóg) a small town in south-west County Limerick, derives its name from a seventh-century monastery dedicated to St Ceallóg, located on the hill to the north-west of the town. The earliest reference to Kilmallock is in 927, when ‘a slaughter of the foreigners of Waterford at Kilmallock by the men of Munster and the foreigners of Limerick’ is recorded. By the eleventh century the original monastic foundation seems to have relocated to the site now occupied by the Collegiate Church of Saints Peter and Paul. Following the Synod of Cashel in 1101, the monastic lands were absorbed by the diocese, and the town likely owes its initial development to the bishop of Limerick.The jewel in Kilmallock’s crown is undoubtedly the Dominican priory, one of the best-preserved examples in Ireland. It occupies the best setting of any and that landscape is likely unique, as it is possibly the undisturbed original curtilage of the priory.
