Mill building depicted at this location on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. A small rectangular building north of St. Feichin's church (WM004-035003-) is pointed out as St. Feichin's mill. It is situated close to a spring and the ground is continuously flooded with water which runs around and through the building. The structure is of roughly coursed limestone with a very wide batter on the north side. The north and south walls survive to a max. H. of 3m while the west gable is 5m high. High up on the south-west gable is a stone with the inscription '549 T Mc D 1895' (Bradley et. al. 1985, 82). The mill may be the same building as mentioned in 1613 in a land grant to Richard Nugent, Lord Baron of Delvin which included 'a water-mill in the town of Fower' (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 238).
