The National Monuments Service's description

The location of Kilsalebeg settlement is uncertain but it probably centered on the castle and mill at Pilltown, situated on relatively hisgh overgrown land on the N bank of a NE-SW stream at a point where it emerges onto mud-flats and c. 1.5 km E of the estuary of the Blackwater River. A mill, 'worth £10 in a good year' was the property of Sir Nicholas Walshe of Ballykeeroge (WA023-035001-) in 1640 (Simington 1942, 29). The mill remains date entirely to the 18th or 19th century. Archaeological testing (07E0099) in its vicinity produced one pit (Tierney 2010b). (Bradley et al. 1988, 60-5)
