- Beside the Killaclogher river near Abbert, Ballyglunin there are remans of an old mill where long ago people used to make flannel and oatmeal.
In summertime they used to thicken the flannel and in wintertime they made the meal. The flannel was sold to purchase the oats for the meal. The mill was owned by a a man named Kavanagh. It is said to have been in use over 50 years ago.
