Corn Mill in Cloonkesh

Mill, corn

What is recorded here

In a secluded valley drained by a small SE-flowing tributary of the Clydagh River. Reported as a possible horizontal-wheeled water mill (SMR file). The first edition (1837) of the OS 6-inch map shows a ‘Corn Mill’ and ‘Kilns’ near the S bank of a ‘Mill Race’ recorded flowing SE from Lough Fadda c. 530m to the NW. Only the low, overgrown ruined walls (H 0.5-1m; av. T 0.5m) of a rectangular building (L c. 12m NE-SW; Wth 7m) survive. There is insufficient visible evidence of the mill having had a horizontal wheel. Date of visit: 06-02-2025 Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy

Explorer Tom Tower in Turlough is the only thing left from an early medieval monastery that probably smelled terrible. The shortcut up there isn't really a shortcut at all, trust me. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Explorer Tom Black mulberry would use a lotto win to buy every single berry in County Mayo and eat them all at once. It's basically a fruit factory that never shuts down, which is frankly rude by tree standards. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
