Situated on the SE bank of a loop of the stream and described as a corn mill on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map. This is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 13.65m NW-SE; 6.35m NW-SE) surviving complete to two storeys with good quoins on the SW side of the R375 Ballinasloe to Athleague road.
