The mill of Newcastle MacKynegan is first mentioned in 1228 and was still functioning in 1565-6 (Orpen 1908, 129, 137). A post-1700 AD mill and the millrace to the SE of the castle (WI019-005002-) are probably on the site of the medieval feature, which was within the medieval borough (WI019-005----). (Bradley and King 1989, 64)

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.
