The National Monuments Service's description
In Graiguenamanagh, on the N side of Mill Street, at the S end of a millrace which turns at the mill to rejoin the Douske River. Indicated on the 25-inch OS map as 'Corn Mills' and OS mapping (accessed 2022) as 'Cushendale Mills'. The Down Survey (1655-6) terrier, accompanying the map of Graige parish, in the barony of Gowran, describes, 'a Mill' in Graige, and lists the proprietor in 1640 as Sir Edward Butler (Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin). According to the O'Leary's (1924, 22), the 'site of the abbey mill is now occupied by Duiske Mills, formerly called "Manor Mills". It is possible that medieval fabric may be incorporated in the present structure.
