A watermill at Ballygunner Temple is recorded in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as being owned by Lord John Power of Curraghmore (WA008-005----) in 1640 but mortgaged to Sir Thomas Sherlock, who leased it to James Sherlock, a merchant from Waterford city. It was probably on the S-N Ballycanvan stream at the E edge of the townland, which was then known as the Aghmurryea, but it remains unlocated. (Simington 1942, 165)

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.
