The National Monuments Service's description

On N bank of River Funshion, immediately E of Downing Bridge (14827), beside main Dublin-Cork road. Access to mill site not gained; following description based on view of complex from roadside. Large 4-storey rectangular structure (long axis N-S), 15 bays wide; gable-ended, with gable ends and crossing wall raised above slate roof; basement at S end where ground level falls towards river. Entire building rendered, but cut-limestone quoins visible on SE corner; ornamental brick-work on corners. Wheel-pit alongside S end, fed by millrace taken from river c. 450m to W. Large 6-storey, 10-bay addition (long axis N-S) alongside N end of W wall. North wall of mill and addition double-gable-ended with ornate oval niches in gables, and bellcote in central valley. Range of 2-storey outbuildings (long axis N-S) to NW. High enclosing walls survives in parts. Built in 1818 by Lawrence Corban, owner of adjacent early 19th-century Maryville House; in 1870 ownership passed to Erasmus Barrington; by 1880s mill run by Patrick Dunlea & Sons (pers. comm. D. Corban-Lucas).
Demolished in 1995; Rynne (1995, 6) noted, in rubble, iron supports and fire doors made in Vulcan Iron Foundry, Cork, dating to between 1842 and 1859. Grain-drying kiln-tiles from here used as footpath paving at Araglin Mills (15244).
