No surface remains visible. In 1641 there is a reference to a fulling mill in the area known as the Ballykilcavan Estate (Feehan 1983, 353). This mill may have been located on the site of the Ballykilcavan Saw Mills. Alternatively it is possible that the 17th century fulling mill may have been situated at a different location within the townland of Mill Land on the estate of Ballykilcavan.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
