• WA018-001 Tide mill - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on the estuary of the S-N Ballycanvan stream, on the E bank. Described as a 'water-grist mill' in the Civil Survey of c. 1655 (Simington 1942, 163). This is a large rectangular building of three bays with three floors and an attic (dims. 13m E-W; 6.9m N-S), partly excavated into bedrock. Cut-stone quoins survive and there is an opening for mill-wheel gears and a curved recess for millstones in the W wall. Causeways contain the stream to the S where there is also an intake sluice, an overflow sluice, a millrace and a millpond of c. 1 ha, all of which are stone-revetted. The millpond was filled by the incoming tide. The present remains are probably 17th century in date with later additions to the N and S walls of the original structure, including a corn-drying kiln. A small quay and access laneway with rock-cut yards are adjacent to the N. Simington, R. C. (ed.) (1942) The Civil Survey AD 1654-1656, vi, the County of Waterford. Irish Manuscripts Commission.
