The National Monuments Service's description
Three cut, shaped and morticed wooden beams discovered in the bed of a stream during the course of drainage works in 1984. Stream flows NW-SE and forms the boundary between the townlands of Cloghbally Upper and Fartagh. The location of these timbers on the downhill path of a fast-flowing stream suggests that they were components of a horizontal mill. Additional timbers were noted by the landowner at the same find-spot. Local tradition points to the site of an 'old road' aligned E-W, crossing the stream to S of mill site.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
