The National Monuments Service's description
On the S bank of the Kilcolgan River is a rectangular building (14m N-S; 6m E-W) defined by grassed-over oundation lines except at S where a gable wall containing
two plain rectangular windows survives. Traces of a race, now filled with field clearance rubble, are visible within this structure. This is possibly the site of the medieval mill attached to the borough of Kilcolgan (Holland 1988, 81).
