What is recorded here

The Down Survey barony map (1656-8) shows a windmill in Ballykelsh townland, then part of Hillcastle townland (9) in Kilscoran parish where Mathew Hay owned 98 acres in 1640 (Simington 1953, 304). A windmill is marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map at Ballykelsh but it cannot be certain that it is at the same location, and this feature does not survive.
