The precise location of a medieval watermill in the townland of Monahila has not been identified. Pollardstown Castle (LI025-031----) and watermill are depicted on the 1657 Down Survey map of Coonagh Barony (Hib. Reg.). The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that the recently deceased James Butler of Pollordstowne, an Irish Papist, was the owner of 'a Mill and a broken Castle' (Simington 1938, 19).
