Description
The precise location of the corn mill in the townland of Crowinstown Great has not been identified. In 1647 a fine of £15 was levied on a group of mills in Co. Westmeath to pay Captain Ignatius Nugent of the Irish Confederate Army. The sum of 4s 8d. was levied on 'Moore in Creniston, or same, one mill' (Cal. S.P. Ire., 624). This mill is mentioned in the terrier of the 1659 Down Survey map of Castletown parish where it states that there was 'At Cronistowne there is the walles of a Chappell of Ease (WM014-009---) wth a Corn Mill in repaire' (NLI, MS 723-4). It is possible that the Corn Mill depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map stands on the site of the mill mentioned in the 1659 Down Survey. In 1982 the ASI recorded that there was 'no visible remains of a mill in this vicinity. The stream which is a tributary of the Stonyford River has recently been drained by the OPW' (SMR File 21/08/1982). Compiled and revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 6 December 2016
