The National Monuments Service's description
The Civil Survey (1654-6) describes 'a Grinding Mill on the River Ara' in 'Lackennagullogelugh' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 29). The mill had been tentatively located to 'Lackeen Saw Mill' which is depicted on the 1901-05 ed. OS 6-inch map. However, though there is little physical remains of this saw mill there was no evidence to suggest that it was 17th century in date. The watermill remains unlocated within the townland of Lacken.
