Jacob Nevill's 1760 map shows the River Greeces, while Greese {{IPAc-en|ˈ|g|r|iː|s}} is the spelling generally used in the modern day, although Griese is also used.[2] CourseThe river rises near Dunlavin, County Wicklow in the townland of Usk. It then runs south-west and forms part of the County Wicklow/Kildare border. The Greese continues west past Killeen Cormac (formerly capella de Gris, from which the river takes its name). It is bridged by the R448 road at Moyleabbey, County Kildare. It meets a tributary in Crookstown and passes under the R415, then flows southward through Ballitore. The Greese flows south-southwest, crossing under the M9, through Kilkea Golf Club and past Kilkea Castle, passing under the Dublin–Waterford railway line at Newtownpilsworth/Dunmanoge and draining into the River Barrow in the Jerusalem townland, Painestown downstream of Maganey Lock (this last stretch forms part of the County Carlow/Kildare border). WildlifeFish include brown trout (up to 3 kg), stone loach, Atlantic salmon, European eel, three-spined stickleback and European river lamprey.[3] References1. ^ {{Rivers of Ireland}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Greese}}2. ^ 3. ^ 4 : Rivers of County Carlow|Rivers of County Kildare|Rivers of County Offaly|Rivers of County Wicklow |
