What is recorded here

In 1612 Robert Dillon of Cannorstown was granted in 'Boynaghcolmanagh, half a mill' (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 228). In 1619 Edmond Malone and Teige O’Higgan surrendered to the King ‘1 water-mill and 2½ cartrons in Bonnagh’ (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 464). In the same year the King regranted to Edmond Malone of Kilgarvan ‘1 mill and 2½ cartrons in Boynagh’ (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 481). The precise location of this medieval mill within the townland of Boyanagh has not been identified. The ‘Corn Mill’ depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map may have been built on site of medieval mill.
