Pair of detached multiple-bay three-storey mill buildings, built c.1800, having corrugated-iron lean-to to north of west building. Now disused. Pitched slate roof, cast-iron and replacement rainwater goods. Rubble stone walls having brick quoins and brick dressed openings to west building and stone opening to east building. Windows to first and second floor of west elevation, door opening to east elevation, and segmental arch and first floor door opening over to south gable of west building. Window openings to south gable and square-headed water opening to south corner of east building. Remnants of two-over two sash windows and sheeted timber doors to west building. Set back from the road, with river to south and former dam and mill pond to west.
An interesting small-scale mill complex which appears to have been used for both corn and flax. Unusually this mill did not have an external mill wheel but the river was dammed and water to drive the machinery entered through a small opening in the south corner of the building. Architecturally the mill typifies the simple robust stone finish and unornamented exterior of contemporary mill buildings. The variously sized openings and their locations reflects the industrial processes in the operation of the mill. The mill buildings are an important element of the industrial legacy of Bailieborough and surrounding area, and would have played a significant role in the local agricultural economy in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
