Flour Mill

A mill is indicated roughly at this location on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of Sheelogher/‘Sheelelogher’ (Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin). Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 487) noted that in 1794, 'the tourist Holmes observed at Bennetsbrige, "near the river a small ancient building, now part of a mill". There is a watermill on the W bank of the River Nore indicated as 'Flour Mill' on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map which may be on the location of the Down Survey mill. It is shown as a 'Corn Mill' on the 1899-1902 revision of the OS 6-inch map. The building is currently used to produce and sell locally made pottery.
