Place & story
Cartron in a landscape of lakes and bog
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 description of Killummod, written as Killumod, records both a bleach-green and a corn mill at Cartron. These activities appear in his account of a parish containing several small lakes, bog and limestone. He also names Deansfort as the residence of T. Roycroft. His notice establishes the presence of the two Cartron works at that time, without identifying their operators, machinery or output. [2]
