- CL033-081 House - 18th/19th century
Description
Situated on a slight platform on the floodplain on the E bank of the Inch or Claureen river. Listed in the RMP (1996) as ‘House – 17th century, possible’. On inspection in 2000 this was found to be a five-bay, two-storey house dating to the 18th century with a later porch added. The earliest date cited in the Irish Historic Towns Atlas for the house is 1795 (Ó Dálaigh 2012, 24). Weir (1986, 146-7) Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 12 July 2016
- CL033-138002 Water mill - vertical-wheeled
Description
Listed in the RMP (1996) as ‘Watermill, possible site’. One of two mills (see CL033-138001-) referred to as the ‘Mills of Inish’ in 1656 in the Inchiquin Mss (540) and in the Manor Court Rolls (360) in 1685 as cited by Ó Dálaigh (2012, 16). Also 2 corn mills, a miller’s house and mill park are mentioned in Moland’s survey of 1703 (ibid.). The location of this mill and the name ‘Ennis Mills’ are shown on Ó Dálaigh’s map (2012, 4). Excavations in 1997 (licence no. 97E0424) in advance of the construction of an adjacent building to the SW revealed a wall which may have belonged to the earlier mill complex (Connolly 1998, 6). Further excavations in the same area (licence no. 98E0068) produced no archaeological evidence (Rooney 1999, 10). Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 8 July 2014
