Corn Mill

In 1621 Edmund Medhopp was granted the ‘whole late house of friars of Athlone, and 4 cottages, and 7a in Caltre, with 2 fishing wears on the River Shannon, 1 water-mill in the town of Mollinemeaghan’ (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 509). The precise location of this medieval watermill within the townland has not been identified. The Corn Mill depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map may have been located on site of the medieval mill.
