The National Monuments Service's description

The precise location of a medieval mill in the townland of Sonna Demesne/Kildallan North has not been identified. The Corn Mill and Tuck Mill depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map located on the townland boundary between Sonna Demesne and Kildallan North may be located on site of mill mentioned in the terrier of the 1655-9 Down Survey map of Templeoran parish. The terrier recorded stated that a 'Rivolett passeth through it through the Towne of Kildolan and Sonnagh on which Standeth a mill belonging to Sonnagh' (NLI MS 723-4). This location described in the Down Survey matches very closely the location of the Corn and Tuck Mill depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map.
