What is recorded here

Detached six-bay four-storey former linen mill, dated 1832, now ruined. Rectangular plan with two-storey with dormer attic living quarters to north-east. Lime render over random rubble walls. Square-headed openings with tooled limestone sills. Segmental arch to north-west with cut limestone voussoirs above former mill stream route, now diverted. Former wheel pit to north-east gable now filled in. Set back from road with attached occupied dwelling to north-east, single-storey outbuilding to west and mature gardens to south-east.
This imposing former linen mill is a significant element of the industrial heritage and economic history of the local area. The mill is now ruinous and overgrown and many of the original features and fittings have been lost including the water wheel, mill race, internal floors and roof structure. However the building still retains its early form and is a striking feature within the rural landscape. Its simple form and irregular fenestration are typical of vernacular mill buildings in rural Ireland.
