A land grant to James McConell Farrall in 1620 included the ‘castle [LF023-123002-], town and lands of Tenelick, with one water-mill' (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 481). It is depicted on the Down Survey (1655-6) map of Abbeyshrule barony (NLI, MS 719) as a vertical-wheeled mill, to the W of the castle. Its precise location has not been identified but it is possible that the ‘Corn Mill’ shown on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map may have been built on or close to its site or it may incorporate it. Several cut-stone fragments (LF023-123004-), including alternating long and short quoins stones with punch dressing of late 16th/17th-century appearance, are visible on the SE angle of the building. They may be from the earlier water mill or, alternatively, they may be from the castle.

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.
