What is recorded here

The precise location of two grist mills and a tuck mill associated with Milltown Castle (LI048-077----) have not been identified. The 1659 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that William Creagh of Miltown an Irish papist was owner of 'an old ruynous Castle (LI048-177---/LI047-026002-), the Seates of two Gristmills, and the seate of a tucking Mill' (Simington 1938, 238). The 1654-6 Down Survey map of Ballingaddy parish shows that there were two townlands called Milltown in this parish and that Millmount was annotated 'Miltowne' on this map (NLI, Ms 718). The other townland of Milltown lies adjacent to the SE of the townland of Millmount. No castle or mill sites are depicted on this parish map.
