  1. There is an old mill in Dunne's field. There is a lane into it. It was driven by water. The people around it used to bring wheat to be ground. It is beside the school. A man named Dowling owned it and he sold it to a man named Dunne. They made a river into it. Some of the wheels are to be seen there yet.
