The National Monuments Service's description
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
Two mills are referred to at Tullow in 1345 (Curtis 1932, Vol I, no 778). Not marked on 1908 'OS 6-inch' map (Bradley 1989, 68). On the 1657 Down Survey map of Tullow Barony the 'Abby' (CW008-045001-) with 'Tuck Mill' to SE are depicted standing on the S bank of the Slaney River in the area where the present graveyard is located (NLI MS 726). The 'abbey of Tulloebeg' is depicted standing on the S bank of the Slaney River on the 1657 Down Survey parish map of part of Fenagh. The terrier of the Down Survey map of part of Fenagh Parish records that in Tullowbeg were the remains of 'an old abbey & a Tuck Mill' (NLI MS 726).
