What is recorded here

Former mill race to Ballinacarrig Mills, c.1810. Mill race off the Silver River to the rear of the mill. Runs through wooded area to rear of mill and enters mill to drive internal mill wheel. Mill race is culverted beneath mill yard and exists adjacent to the Silver River at Ballinacarrig Bridge. Single-arch to bridge accommodates the mill race. Weirs and sluice gates do not survive.

The survival of the mill race and culverts is of interest, as they act as a physical reminder of the power sources employed to drive Ballinacarrig Mill in the past. It forms part of an interesting group of mill related structures and contributes to the industrial heritage of County Offaly.
