The National Monuments Service's description

Ruins of early 19th century cruciform mill on E bank of Glenmore river; named 'Glenmore Paper Mill' on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Roofless rectangular building (int: 18.2m NE-SW; 7.4m NW-SE) with central rectangular projection on NW side (4.9m NW-SE) giving T-shaped ground plan. Water-filled wheel-pit (Wth c. 1.65m) at NE end fed by mill race from E; tail-race exits along W side of building flowing under central projection. Three conglomerate mill stones in interior indicate alternative use. Fourth arm of cross is rebuilt; 1-storey central projection on SE side (14.4m NW-SE) used as warehouse.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
