The National Monuments Service's description
According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 197), 'When Thornback church [KK014-056001-] and Donore, the townland on which it stood, were made over to the Franciscan Friars, and the former was reduced to the level of a chapel, the latter came to be known as "Chapel Land" or simply as "Chapel,"....Chapel Land is now called Chapel Mill, from an ancient mill worked here by the Franciscan Friars, and of which the site is still pointed out in Mr. Walsh's land beside the Nore'. The precise location of the mill, probably in the vicinity of the church, is unknown within the townland.
