The National Monuments Service's description
National Monument No. 126. Depicted as the Black Mills' on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map and now converted into an OPW heritage centre. This is probably the site of one of two mills that are mentioned in the Civil Survey of 1654-56. One refers to a 'Grinding Mill erected uppon a small River running through the sd towne', the other 'a corne mill upon a brooke (Simington 1931 vol. 1, 29).
