Ballinteskin Mill

Known locally as both Dullaghan’s Mill and Larkin’s Mill, names that denote two distinct periods in its history. Originally a flour mill, it was powered by the Ryland River, known locally as the Essmore (from the Gaelic Eas Mór, meaning "big waterfall"). Later, the mill was used to grind oyster shells for fertilizer. In 1919, it was purchased by Coláiste Bríde and accommodation for students was added. Subsequently, the property was acquired and operated as a youth hostel by An Óige.
