Mill — corn in Ballynaraw South

Not included in the SMR (1989). Listed in the RMP (1995) and classified 'Mill Race'. In a marshy area, covered in rushes, on the SE bank of the Bunnanaddan river. Fragmentary remains of a tower house stand in the centre of a slightly raised roughly D-shaped area (22m SW-NE; 25m SE-NW) noticeably drier than the surrounding terrain. The arc of a fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.1m) is evident at the edge of the raised area on the S side and the arc of a second fosse (Wth 7m) is evident E-SE, 13m outside the edge of the raised area. Field boundaries abut the edge of the raised area to NE and E. A silted-up tailrace (Wth 5m), possibly associated with a 19th-century corn mill to NE, skirts the edge of the raised area at N. It can be traced north-eastwards for c. 100m. The millrace is likely to be post 1700 AD in date and is noted under the record for the tower house (SL038-065001-).
