Mill

The precise location of the medieval corn mill in the townland of Kilcleagh has not been identified. The terrier of the 1659 Down Survey map of Kilcleagh parish barony states that there was in ‘Killcleagh a Castle in repaier and a Corne Mill in repaire’ (NLI, MS 723-4 ). The 1659 Down Survey map depicts the medieval mill standing on a mill race or stream in close proximity in an area to the S of the castle (WM036-011---) at Kilcleagh. The mill was located on the demesne lands of Castle Daly somewhere along the present watercourse running past Kilcleagh Park [Castle Daly] the line of which is shown on the OS 25-inch map.
