Freestanding single-bay two-stage chimney, c.1830, on a square plan. Now disused. Random rubble stone walls to first stage with slight batter. Red brick irregular bond to second stage forming tapered shaft with advanced corner piers, and moulded cut-stone cornice over supporting blocking course (part disintegrated). Sited spanning Greagagh River on rubble stone footbridge.
An important item of the architectural heritage of Clashmore, representing one of the final reminders of the industrialisation of the village in the nineteenth century – a distillery is recorded as having been on site in 1837, while the complex operated as a Flour Mill in 1840. The chimney is distinguished by its unusual position over the Greagagh River, supported by a rubble stone footbridge (22826020/WD-37-26-20). Now disused, and with some of the handmade red brick beginning to spall, the chimney nevertheless survives as a landmark in the area, rising above the surround landscape.
