An old mill was discovered in 1821 near the church (TN034-013001) (Lewis 1837, vol. 1, 654). Cooke (1822, 31) describes the circumstances and nature of the find - 'a peasant…was digging…for the purpose of levelling an angle of his gardens situated within a short distance of the ruins of the church…he discovered, adjoining a little stream, the remains of an ancient mill, buried in clay, a small way under the surface of the ground. He also discovered there several planks of oak from 8 to 10 feet in length and of considerable thickness, most of them being fitted with tenents and mortices apparently for the frame work of the mill'. No visible remains.
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.
