What is recorded here

Tuck and Corn Mill stands at a bend of the Saivnose river in County Cork, marked on the 1842 OS map as a three-storey complex with a wide wheel pit. The main building shares a head race platform with a smaller gable-ended structure beside it, suggesting two mills working one watercourse. Both are farm buildings now, but their pits and chimney still outline the violent dance of river, gear and grain that once lived inside.
