Mill

'The 1584 survey of the earl of Desmond's property included 'a water-mill… with a house and garden' in Dingle (PRO 1881, 4) This mill was apparently adjacent to the parcel of land called 'the Park' beside the Earl's house, and seems to be that referred to in the 1587 grant of 'the park and half mill in Dingle' to the English planters Walshingham and Denny (Brewer and Bullen 1868, 451). The mill and park of Dingle is also referred to in 1671 (MacLysaght 1941, 83). The most likely situation is in the grounds of Grove House.'
