What is recorded here

Detached T-plan six-bay three-storey mill, built c.1750, with outbuildings to east and mill wheel and mill race to north. Now derelict. Set within its own grounds with detached house to south. Roof is gone. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with some timber sash windows. Square-headed door openings with battened timber doors. Single- and two-storey outbuildings to north with pitched and lean-to corrugated iron roofs. Cobbled yards to front and rear site.
The mill at Springmount impresses. Retaining remnants of the mill wheel and mill race, the stone building is of technical interest. Despite its disuse, the structure and its associated outbuildings are part of the industrial heritage of County Offaly, and contribute also to the setting of the adjacent nineteenth-century Springmount (see 14944010).

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
