'St. Mullins Watercourse' indicated on the 1839 OS 6-inch map. Now dry but originally water was directed from the Aughavand River to flow along it. It commences at the junction of the boundaries of Bahana, Ballyknock and Glebe townlands, directly NE of 'St Mullins Oratory'. From here it runs SE towards the ecclesiastical complex of St. Mullins, running NE of and roughly parallel to the river but at a higher level. Surviving potion was densely overgrown when inspected by ASI in 1987, a section in Templenaboe was examined and this consisted of a channel bounded on its lower side by a townland boundary wall (Wth c. 1.5m; H c. 1.1m) while the NE side was a steep scarp possibly originally stone faced.
