What is recorded here

A worker may have reached the building in Killossery with grain for the mill, only to find that the person meant to help unload it was still having breakfast. Grain has to be carried somehow, so breakfast became a much shorter affair.
To the north of Killossery Church (DU011-005001-) tucked into a hillslope south of the Broadmeadow river is a mill complex comprising the mill building which stands to the west of the yard and a dwelling that runs at right angles to it with some later out-buildings off to the north. The mill building is T-shaped, orientated roughly N-S and changes from a two-storey building to one storey as it ascends the hillslope. It has stone foundations with mud walls and gables which are hipped (ext. dims. L16.4m, Wth 6.6m). There are remains of a millrace that runs along the N gable. The thatched roof is covered in galvanised iron.

Explorer Tom Glasmore Abbey | Mooretown’s square building is 'enigmatic' and sits right inside a modern housing estate. It must be the quietest resident in Cianlea, just watching the bins go out.

Explorer Tom Fish-pond in Brackenstown is actually a canal from the early eighteenth century, which is a bit cheeky of them to call it a pond. It’s used for horse riding now, so watch out for hooves and muddy boots.

Explorer Tom Dunsoghly Castle's four corner towers rise over a farmyard, and I can almost hear the Plunkett family echoing through that barrel-vaulted chamber.
