Mill - unclassified

The National Monuments Service's description

A mill is indicated in this townland adjacent to the E townland and barony boundary on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map and in the general area of Kilmorgan church (SL034-081001-). The precise location of it is not known but it may be on or close to the location of a T-shaped mill which is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map immediately to S of the road leading W from Cams Bridge. There are no visible remains of any structure in the area which is densely covered with overgrowth. The remains of a probably associated rectangular structure (c. 3.6m NW-SE; 6m SW-NE) lie c. 10m to SW. This structure is defined by a hollow with a rising scarp on the SE and NE sides, the remains of the SW wall built against a rock-face and a short section of the NW wall (L 2.1m; H 2m; T 0.73m) with a central lintelled door (Wth 0.76m). The faint trace of an embanked millrace curves around the structure to S and E. Kilmorgan church (SL034-081001-) lies c. 50m to S.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
