- MA117-062: Mill - corn, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA117-062----. This detached three-bay single-storey mill with half-attic is named 'Corn Mills' on the OS 1st ed. 6-inch map. It was in use in 1916 and closed in 1980. The mill was conserved in 2001 and is now disused. It is one of the few surviving examples of a horizontal-wheeled grain mill, a type that went out of fashion in Ireland by the middle of the 17th century (Rynne 2006, 32). It is described as follows by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (Reg. No. 31311706): 'Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, and cast-iron rainwater goods retaining cast-iron downpipes. Repointed rubble limestone battered walls with benchmark-inscribed tooled hammered limestone flush quoins to corners. Pair of square-headed door openings with tooled hammered limestone lintels. Square-headed window openings (half-attic) with hammered limestone lintels framing replacement fixed-pane timber fittings. Set in unkempt grounds on a corner site perpendicular to road.' This is a national monument in State care (no. 664). MA117-062----_01.jpg: View of the corn mill from the north-east. MA117-062----_02.jpg: View of the drive shaft mechanism with the horizontal-mill wheel at the bottom of the image. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 27 February 2015

In rough pasture, on high ground. Circular area (45.5m N-S; 42m E-W), enclosed by earthen bank (H 0.6m). Possible entrance on SSW (Wth 2.8m). Bank topped by stone fence NW to NE; fence skirts base of bank NE to SW. Another fence bisects interior WNW-ESE. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 200. Date of upload: 14 November 2013

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

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.
