Situated towards the base of a prominent ridge overlooking Skerries. A 19th-century mill complex occupies the site of a watermill mentioned in the 16th-century extents of monastic possessions for the parish of Holmpatrick (White, 1943, 49). Described in the Civil Survey 1654-56 as a 'decayed watermill' (Simington 1945, 54). Field walking (May 2014) of the south-facing sloping field to the rear of the present complex recovered diagnostic late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age flints. The mill complex has undergone restoration by Fingal County Council (Ni Ghabhlain 1987, 116).
