The one at Durrow in County Galway holds the status of a recorded monument, meaning it has been formally identified as a structure of archaeological or historical interest, yet the detailed record that would normally accompany such a designation has not yet been made publicly available.

Without that documentation, the specifics of this mill, its construction date, the family or estate that built and operated it, and how long it remained in use, remain unknown from publicly accessible sources. What can be said is that corn mills of this type were generally in operation from the medieval period through to the nineteenth century, grinding oats and wheat for local communities. Many were established or expanded during the improving landlord era of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, when estate owners invested in milling infrastructure to process grain from their tenanted lands. The presence of a mill at Durrow suggests the area once had both the agricultural output and the watercourse to sustain one.
