Beakstown Saw Mill, County Tipperary

What is recorded here

Detached three-storey woollen mill on River Suir, built c.1790, but incorporating earlier fabric. Hipped slate roof with corrugated-iron sheeting over southern wing. Single and two-storey additions to west, with pitched and lean-to corrugated-iron roofs. Rendered walls. Replacement timber windows in square-headed openings. Round-headed window to western addition. Ruined elements include former mill race upstream from the mill and evidence of foundations of former structures.

This woollen mill demonstrates the principal characteristics of a typical mill, by its siting, layout and form. Although its form has been degraded by alterations and extensions using a variety of materials, it retains its picturesque setting by the river.
