What is recorded here

Detached four-bay two-storey corn mill with attic, c.1800. In use, 1902. Reroofed. Now in use as outbuilding. Pitched roof with replacement corrugated-iron, iron ridge, and remains of iron rainwater goods on squared rubble stone eaves. Random rubble stone walls. Square-headed window openings (slit-style to ground floor) with no sills, timber lintels, and no fittings. Square-headed door openings with cut-stone lintels, and timber boarded doors. Set back from road in shared grounds with mill race to site having random rubble stone retaining walls.
Although long decommissioned a middle-size range displaying a traditional construction in unrefined local stone represents an important element of the industrial legacy of County Kilkenny having historically supported much of the local agricultural economy from the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century: associated artefacts including the mill race together with a mill stone further identify the importance of the site. Having been retained to accommodate an alternative function the building survives as an integral component of a self-contained industrial complex with the associated mill owner's house (12401110/KK-11-10).
