Water mill

In glen, on N side of Glencorra Stream, c. 120m NE of confluence with River Funshion. Discovered in 1948 during building work and report sent to Cork Public Museum by G. Pennefather. No mill structure was uncovered but 'what appears to be an ancient headrace extended for some distance up the glen' and fragments of six millstones were found which were similar to those at Mashanaglass (9309) (Fahy 1956, 57). Disused electricity-generating station now on site; according to local information, the millstones still lie in the stream bed. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
