Water mill

The Mill Centre Shopping complex NW of Clondalkin Village occupies the site of a medieval mill. Described in the Urban Survey of County Dublin as follows; 'A water-mill was associated with the manor of Clondalkin from at least the thirteenth century and it was valued at 38s. 10d. in 1326 (McNeill 1950, 187). Its site is almost certainly occupied by the modern paper mills on the north side of the road to Newcastle Lyons, and is presumably the castellated mill which Austin Cooper visited in 1780 (Price 1942, 56). Ua Broin (1944, 210, 11) documents further mills but it is unclear whether they are older than the eighteenth century or not' (Bradley and King 1988). No surface remains visible.
