The National Monuments Service's description
In 1682 Sir Henry Piers of Tristernagh wrote that at the E end of Lough Lene there 'issueth out another considerable stream which in one quarter of a mile turneth a mill at Cummestown (WM008-026----), thence at Grainstown [Grangestown] it turneth another' (Vallancey 1786, 10).
