Geocache Description:

This is a roadside cache placed near the old Donaghmore Mill. Parking for one car.BYOP


Remains of late 18th/early 19th century water-powered flour mill on tributary of Erkina River. A largely intact six-bay/three-storey late 19th century malt house and kiln adjoin. Two water turbines were used in later years, possibly for electricity generation.

The mill contained two waterwheels – 16ft 2in diameter by 5ft 10in wide and 12ft 2in by 4ft 10in wide. Between them, they drove six sets of stones, fans and elevators. The number of stones indicate that the mill was indeed erected as a flour mill rather than as a corn mill.The stores have the same footprint as the present malt house and kiln, and it is therefore probably that malting was taking place as well at this time.
