  2. Shovel Mill

    Share Share Tweet
    Shovel Mill.
    There is the ruin of an old shovel mill in Curraheen. They made shovels and shades there long ago. They also made fittings for ploughs. The mill was driven by a mill wheel. This wheel was driven by the stream. There was a huge hammer in it. They made the iron red hot first and then they shaped it with the hammer. Some of the walls of the mill are standing still.
