Appraisal
This functional but well built mill and mill owner’s house originally formed part of a corn milling complex and is one of many mills powered by the Kilcrow River. It probably dates to the early nineteenth century which was a boom period for the corn milling industry in Ireland. The complex is a familiar landmark in the locality due to its roadside position. The associated features at the site include the former mill, mill owner’s house, mill pond, mill dam, sluices and bridge.
