Mill in Listowel, water mill in County Kerry

What is recorded here

Mill in Listowel had a widow, Sibilla, fighting her own son for a third of it. Other mothers settle for ‘after all I’ve done for you’; this one had a fraction ready.

Annotated 'Mill' on the 1841 ed. OSi 6-inch map where it is shown 30m S of Listowel Castle (KE010-059----). This mill may have been built on the site of the 'watermill' mentioned in 1303-04. The Plea Roll of 32 Edward I, 1303-4 recorded that 'Sibilla, widow of Maurice son of Thomas, seeks against Nicholas son of Maurice one third of a house [KE010-059----], watermill [KE010-083----], lands (1,060 acres) and rent in Lystothyl (Listowel) in Altry, and of the fishery [KE010-082----] of the river Feer (Feale) in the same vill, and the third part of a house and lands (2,400 acres) and rent in Viale [Beale KE002-001001-] de Kyllesshene, as her dower' (Orpen 1924-5, 36).
