    In Ballycatten where the present smith's residence stands there was a grinding mill and a tucking mill. The mills were in ruin before they were demolished. The stones were drawn by the parishioners of Timoleague to build the Timoleague schools. Fr. Mulcahy had the mills in trust for the owners who were orphans. That is how he got the stones when the place became a ruin.
