The National Monuments Service's description
In 1647 a fine of £15 was levied on a group of mills in Co. Westmeath to pay Captain Ignatius Nugent of the Irish Confederate Army. The sum of 4s 8d. was levied on 'William Golding, or the same, same at Archerston [Archerstown] (Cal. S.P. Ire., 624). The corn mill depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map may have been built on site of medieval mill which belonged to William Golding of Archerstown Castle (WM008-047----).
