The clay of the field is red the colour of a brick. Some time ago there was something in the shape of an oven found in the field. It was found buried in the clay. The Pin Mill It is said that there was a pin mill on the Mill Banks long ago. The mill was driven by a wheel which was turned by the water of the river. There is still a trace of the Mill race. The mill race was a little river shooting out from the Tolka and joining it again further down. The water was let run through this to turn the wheel which stopped when the water was shut off.
