Appraisal
This building encompassed a corn mill, a kiln in the middle of the block, and storage to the south bays. Although it has lost its machinery and internal materials, it retains much of its external form and character. Also employed as a flax mill for a time and is representative of the industrial heritage of County Monaghan. The other associated buildings form part of the complex and are significant in providing context.
