Somewhere in this townland there once stood a fulling mill, a water-powered facility used to clean and thicken freshly woven woollen cloth by pounding it in water, often with the addition of Fuller's earth or stale urine. The process was an essential stage in cloth production, and mills built for this purpose were once scattered across rural Ireland wherever a reliable watercourse and a local weaving trade coincided. That the land here took its name from the mill, rather than the other way around, suggests the structure was significant enough to shape the identity of the place long after the industry itself had faded.
