• TS083-021001 Mill - unclassified
  Description

  Less than a mile E of Clonmel, immediately S of the River Suir. According to Lyons (1942, 72-3) c. 140m SW of the mill pond there was an ‘ancient mill site’, which is indicated on a sketch plan by Lyons. He speculates that the ‘corn-mill, presumably of the Franciscans, seems to have been located as shown in the plan, as here a current to work the water-wheel was available. A ruined building at the spot seems to be a part of the mill. The lodge at the spot is quite modern, and it can be shown that there was no road here in medieval times’. Lyons suggests that the mill utilised the water channel which fed the mill ponds, which he interpreted as medieval fish-ponds (TS083-021003-). The mill race, feeding the mill pond, is shown on the 1st (1840-41) and and 1950-51 ed. OS 6-inch map. There is insufficient evidence to suggest that there was a pre-1700 mill at the location suggested by Lyons. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 20 January 2015

• TS083-021004 Weir - regulating
  Description

  Less than a mile E of Clonmel, immediately S of the River Suir, in an area formerly in Co. Waterford. Lyons (1942, 72-3) speculates that the weir in the Suir, N of Millbrook House, was 'a Franciscan salmon-weir, amplified by an extension westward in late times by the Dudley family who built the contiguous corn-mill-finished in 1782'. The associated mill complex, Suir Mill, dates from the 18th-century. The weir extended from the Suirville mill complex westward, crossing the river obliquely for c. 260m. The weir (Wth at top c. 1-1.25m) is constructed of limestone walling with rubble infill (Withers 2006, 13). The eastern portion of the weir included an exit sluice with a brick arch (ibid., 10). Several gaps (Wth from 5m to 20m) in the weir had been artificially broken through by fishermen during the course of the 20th century to facilitate access into quieter fishing waters (ibid. 11). In these cases only the upper courses of the weir, to just below the water level, were tumbled to allow through passage (ibid.). It is likely that the weir dates to the late 18th century and was constructed in tandem with Suirville mill. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate Lyon’s claim that the weir has an earlier function as a fish weir. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 20 January 2015

• TS083-021006 Standing stone
  Description

  Near the N edge of a roughly E-W running ridge, c. 60m S of the River Suir which runs parallel to the ridge, in pasture. There is a field boundary immediately E of the standing stone with a factory complex on the other side to the E. A sandstone standing stone (max. 0.38m x 0.26m; H 1.23m) rectangular in plan and orientated NNE-SSW. The stone tapers to a point. It is broadest in the middle and narrows to a rectangular base (0.29m x 0.23m). The surface is spawled, though both broad faces are fairly flat. There are several large fractures and evidence of where stone has fractured off at the SW and NW angles, towards the base. There is also a bad crack 0.5m above ground level on the S face, the W end of which rises up through the stone. There are some grass clumps around the base of the stone but no evidence of any packing stones. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 12 November 2013
