The 'Old Mill' of Glenogra was described in the Urban Survey of Limerick as following; 'According to Westropp (1906-7, 177-8) a water-mill existed within the castle bawn (LI031-038004-) but the mill race is actually some distance to the west and north of the castle. The ruins of an old mill are marked on the O.S. map to the south east of the castle on the mill race and this may be the site of the medieval mill. The mill-race itself is 1m deep and 3-4m wide. The mill is mentioned in the extent of 1298 when it was valued at 30s. (Sweetman 1875-86, iv, p. 255)' (Bradley et. al. 1989, 139). The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that Henry, Earl of Bath, was in possession of Glenogra on which there was a 'Castle a Bawne, 30 houses & Cabbins & a Mill together with a Court leet & Court Barron' (Simington 1938, 105).
