mill (water)

Detached three-storey five-bay former corn mill, built c. 1810, extension to west c. 1950, now in use as outbuilding. Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, brick header corbelled eaves course. Random rubble uncoursed stone walling, roughly dressed quoins. Square-headed window openings with timber lintels, painted timber vertically-sheeted shutters, windows to ground floor of west elevation with inward-opening metal casement windows with fixed diamond lights. Square-headed door openings with timber and concrete lintels, painted timber vertically-sheeted doors, main door with horizontal sheeting to base. Mill situated to south of river within farm complex.

This corn mill is a fine example of rural industrial architecture and the engineering capabilities of the nineteenth century. Situated to the south of Longfield River, the mill retains the majority of its interior machinery and exterior features. This mill, though no longer used makes a significant contribution to the heritage of Killanny and County Louth.
