The National Monuments Service's description
The Civil survey (1654-6) mentions a mill at Killossery belonging to Philip Hore of Kilsallaghan. This is also marked on the Down Survey (1655-6) map. To the N of Killossery Church (DU011-005----) tucked into a hillslope is a mill complex comprising the mill building which stands to the W of the yard and a dwelling that runs at right angles to it with some later out-buildings off to the N. The mill building is oriented roughly N-S and changes from a two-storey building to one storey as it ascends the hillslope. It has stone foundations with mud walls and gables which are hipped (ext. dims. L16.4m, Wth 6.6m). There are remains of a millrace that runs along the N gable. The thatched roof is covered in galvanised iron. Most of the mill works are present in the N end of the building. There is a kiln in the S end.
