The Down Survey (1655-6) map shows a mill at Kilmainham. This may be on the site of the flour mills and millrace marked on the 1st edition OS 6-inch map (1837). In 1566 Francis Asgarde received a lease of two mills by the bridge of Kilmainham on the river Liffey (Went 1954, 41-43). In 1738 the mills of Islandbridge together with the salmon weirs were advertised for sale (Went 1954, 45) and bought by Dublin Corporation. The immediate area is known as MillIsland.
