Place & story
A mill in Kilcumreragh townland
A former corn mill stands in Kilcumreragh townland, within the Westmeath civil parish of the same name. The architectural inventory’s October 2004 survey recorded a two-storey building with a lower section to the south, dating it approximately to 1800. A mill race ran north–south to its west. The associated corn kiln was no longer standing when the survey was made. [2] [3]
Evidence on the map
The inventory reports the mill as disused on a map dating from about 1914 and estimates that it had been out of use since around 1900. Those are different kinds of evidence: the map records disuse by its own date, while the earlier closing date is approximate. Its position beside a house suggested a link with the occupants, but the survey did not identify a named mill owner. [2]
