What is recorded here

An inquisition at Wexford in 1618 found that at the time of his death in 1617 William Browne of Mulrankin (WX047-031----) owned a water mill amongst other property together with three carucates (townlands) at Ballyfistlane (Ballycushlane), which was the manor of Lady’s Island parish (Brooks 1950, 118). A mill is marked on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map of Forth at Ballyhitt and Coldblow (3) where William Browne owned 68 acres in 1640 (Simington 1953, 305). For the Down Survey barony map see this web-page accessed on 23 December, 2013: http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Forth&c=Wexford A mill is marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map just S of Kisha bridge with a N-S stream c. 30m to the W, but it cannot be certain that it is on the site of the older mill.

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.
