Niervale Mill — Ballymacarbry matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A well-proportioned, substantial mill building constructed in a traditional manner, which is of particular significance in the locality as a reminder of the development of commercial and industrial activities in Ballymacarbry in the mid nineteenth century.
