The modern townland of Mullenkeagh has been identified with the seventeenth-century townland called 'Ballyhosty'. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) in 'Ballyhosty' there was 'a watercornemill' which in 1640 was under the proprietorship of 'Charles Carroll of Behagh Gent Irish Papist' (Simington 1934, vol.2, 288). This watermill remains unlocated within the townland. Two watermills are also depicted in this townland on the Down Survey (1655-6) map.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). 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.
