What is recorded here

Ruinous multiple-bay four-storey mill complex, built c. 1780, comprising two L-plan blocks linked by an arch. Random rubble limestone walls with limestone and sandstone quoins. Remains of lime render throughout, with evidence of slate hanging to south-east elevation. Chamfered and rounded south-east corner. Square-headed window openings with timber lintels. Segmental-arched door openings. Segmental-headed dressed limestone arch over location of mill wheel, no longer in situ, with sandstone voussoirs and limestone corbels and with smaller round arches to millrace itself.
The remains of this mill serve as a reminder of the former economic prosperity and industrial past of Clogheen. Although in a state of ruin, the building still retains evidence of slate-hung elevations which are characteristic of the surrounding area. The mill forms part of a group of industrial buildings in Clogheen whilst being associated with Coolville House and its associated domestic structures.
