Appraisal
A substantial mill complex which would once have been the economic centre of Ballinadeen and the surrounding landscape. It has survived largely intact and is a striking reminder of the industrial heritage of the area. According to Lewis's Topographical Directory, it was 'a large flour mill of great power, which was much improved in 1836.'
