The National Monuments Service's description
According to Fitzgerald (1909-11, 520-21), the site marked 'Terrils Ca. (KD011-019----) and Mills' on Taylor's 1783 Map of County Kildare was subsequently occupied by the 'Temple Mills' which are shown on the latest ed. (1938) of the OS 6-inch map. He quotes a description of the mill and its appurtenances from the Civil Survey of 1654; 'Mrs. Mabel Aylmer, Irish Papist, is the owner of "Tyrrells Mill" and two acres of land, which are valued for letting purposes at £16 a year. … There is one Corne Mill and one Cloth Mill (KD011-038----) upon the premises, but they are both ruined and waste' .
