Shaft extends within mill where it ends with cast-iron pit-wheel (diam. 1.8m). Lintelled channel crosses under NE end of mill. Conglomerate bedstone (diam. 1.2m) lies on ground to SE. According to Grove White (1905-25, vol. 3, 188-9), mill erected by local eccentric Johnny Roche, first as woollen and flannel mill, then as saw mill, later as stone-cutting mill, and finally as corn mill; it ceased to function as mill after his death in 1884 (ibid.). Named 'Old Corn Mill & Kiln' on 1842 OS 6-inch map, and as 'Creamery' on 1905 OS 6-inch map. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
