The National Monuments Service's description
A drawing of the fields to the W of Durrow Abbey House (OF009-005002-) drawn by Reverend Sterling de Courcy Williams in 1899 shows the 'probable site of mill' which may have been the location of a pre-1700 mill (De Courcy Williams 1899, 223, 232). See attached drawing taken from De Courcy Williams 1899.
