The National Monuments Service's description
In Belgooly, indicated as large flour mill on 1842 OS 6-inch map immediately NW of Starch mill (which no longer survives). Flour mill erected in 1832. Incorporated into distillery in late 1870s when it was converted to corn store. Distillery closed in late 1880s and fittings scrapped (Kinsale Newsletter 1989). Single large 6-storey mill survives, similar in L-shaped plan to mill shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Half-hipped roof removed; front elevation (S) collapsed. Rock-cut wheel-pit (Wth c. 4m) along E elevation.
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.
