The National Monuments Service's description
Croom Mill was described in the Urban Survey of Limerick as following; 'A mill is recorded in the 17th century (Westropp 1906-7, 166) and it is likely that the late medieval mill stood on the site of the mill which is still in use today on the west bank of the Maigue' (Bradley et. al. 1989, 119).
