Mill

At S end of Loch an Mhuilinn on SW bank of river that flows from it into Cuan na hAirde. The site of a horizontal mill in use until about 1900. Demolished for stone to build nearby bridge but contemporary descriptions of it survive. A second mill, An Muileann Beag, also existed a short distance further upstream, the foundations of which still survive by a bend in the river. (Lucas 1953, 23; Robinson 1985, 36) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.
