Mill in Clowanstown, County Meath

What is recorded here

Mill in Clowanstown, Killeen has a round window stranded between the first and second floors. Even the porthole couldn’t get a room on the Boyne cruise it was promised.

Detached five-bay four-storey former mill, built c.1800, now disused. Hipped slate roof. Rubble stone walls. Segmental-arched openings with dressed stone voussoirs. Some timber sash windows and timber battened doors. Circular opening between first and second floor. Former hill house and outbuildings to site.

This former mill is a reminder of the industrial heritage which was associated with the surrounding area. The mill retains many interesting features and materials, such as the slate roof, irregular fenestration, circular window and ashlar voussoirs. Though now modified, the mill house and outbuildings add to the context of the mill.
