Appraisal
Substantial former corn mill retaining much of its original form and structure, which, although in a ruinous state, remains an imposing feature in the townscape. It serves as a physical reminder of the industrial and social history of Killeagh. The mill may have also served as a bleach mill, as the River Dissour was renowned for its bleaching properties in the nineteenth century.
