What is recorded here
Situated on the NE end of Monamoe Island in the River Suir, c. 3.5km SW of Holycross Abbey. The millrace (TN047-117003) runs NE-SW and consists of a concave channel (Wth 3m) with an earth and stone bank (max. Wth 1.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.3m) on either side. The race widens out to form a flat-bottomed, oval-shaped millpond (dims. 33m NE-SW; 20m NW-SE), which is wet and muddy. A substantial bank (Wth 2.2m crest, 5.4m base; int. H 1.15m; ext. H 0.9m) encloses the pond. The millrace runs c. 100m either side of the pond. There is no visible trace of the mill (TN047-117001) itself.
