What is recorded here

Located on the E bank of a NNW-SSE section of the Barora River that is also known as the Owenroe and sometimes as the Moynalty River. Archaeological monitoring (07E0942) of a water scheme at Moynalty village identified a ditch (Wth 2.75m; D 0.8m) c. 6m from the river and running parallel with it. The watercourse has a corner of a stone structure (int. dims 1.75m plus; 1.7m plus) on its W side. The structure appears to have been sunk in the ground and has a stone floor. No dating material was recovered but the structure could be one of the two mills described as 'waste' in the Civil Survey (1655-6) for Co. Meath (Simington 1940, 299). An outflow pipe was diverted and the structure is preserved in situ. The corn-drying kiln (ME011-050002-) is c. 8m to the NE.
