Water mill

A water mill is marked on the Down Survey on the River Dolla adjacent to a castle (TN027-163002) and deserted settlement (TN027-163). According to the landowner large wooden planks were removed from this stretch of river during river work. Nearby to the N of the site, two millstones, one unfinished, were recovered from the land. One, with a central perforation, is now missing. The other stone, without a central perforation, is in the nearby farmyard. It is of limestone, painted grey (diam. 0.58m; T 0.1m). The size of the millstone accords well with others recovered from horizontal water mills. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
