The National Monuments Service's description
There was a mill attached to the medieval Royal manor of Saggart (Teach Sagard) (Bradley & King 1987, 294). In 1337 the Crown granted 'to the king's yeoman, Henry de Stone, of a carucate of land in Balymargy and the mills of Tassagrade [Saggart] and Milton [Milltown] for ten years, at the yearly rent at the Exchequer of Dublin' (Cal. Fine Rolls Edward III 1337-47, 36). This is probably the mill near the castle mentioned by Austin Cooper in 1780 (Price 1942, 52). The exact location of this watermill within the townland has not been located.
