The National Monuments Service's description
Clogheen was a 17th settlement. According to Smyth (1991, 164) 'By 1667 one-fifth of its occupiers were New English in origin, and these accounted for three-fifths of the wealthier two-hearth tax payers. It was then characterised by its mill, forges, ovens, and kilns, and under the later O'Callaghan administration was to grow into a still small but thriving estate town'. This mill was situated on the River Tar, though its precise location is unknown.
