The National Monuments Service's description
On flat terrain in river valley of Suir, low-lying. In the 17th century there were two mills in 'Abyneslewnaght' on the land of 'Patricke Goegh of Kilmaniheen in the County of Waterford Esqr Irish Papist' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 307). On this land 'stands the walls of an old Aby, one grist mill and one tuckinge Mill, both lately rebuilt by Thomas Batty of Clonmell Esqr' (ibid.). Abyneslewnaght has been identified with Inishlounaght townland and 200m SW of the site of the abbey, just within Marlfield townland, there was a mill marked 'Abbey Mill' on the 1st (1840-41) ed. OS 6-inch map. There is no mill marked on 1950-51 OS revision and the mill has been demolished. However, there are the remains of a wall with lime render which was probably part of the mill complex and which now acts as a field boundary. A fast flowing channelised mill race also survives.
