The National Monuments Service's description

A mill on the Dodder alongside the bridge leading to the city existed until the mid-19th century. Ball mentions a bridge over the Dodder at Rathfarnham in 1381 (Ball 1903, 116). This would have been the most likely location for the mill on the Dodder at Rathfarnham (pers com Rob Goodbody).
