The National Monuments Service's description
Adjacent to a stream. Components of a horizontal-wheeled water mill were exposed at this location in 1985. Part of a wooden trough (1.5m by 0.4m), through which the water was channelled to the mill house, and a millstone were noted (SMR file: OPW Topographical Files 1985). There is a possible metal-working site (MA102-030002-) nearby.
