TEMPLETOGHER MILL
Templetogher Mill is a community restored corn mill, featuring a corn drying kiln nearby. Records show that a miller named Morgan O’Brien ran the mill in 1856. It was later operated by the Egan family of millers, before falling to ruin.
It is a three-bay, three-storey water mill and is a very good example of the many small rural mills in County Galway and it remains very much intact, which is rare. Features such as the water wheel are still present on the mill.

Wonderful renovation and addition to Cooney family burial cemetery
April 23, 2023
My wife and I and our three daughters visited this site to pay respects to our ancestors while touring Ireland from the Boston area, U.S. The new signage and renovated buildings are such a wonderful reminder and welcome addition to this site of family reverence. Our previous visit in 1999 had been inspired by our Uncle Austin Cooney who coordinated with cousins to restore the family burial marker. We were so pleased to share this newly renovated site complete with cottage, park, spring, brook and corn mill. It’s a place we treasure and would be happy to promote going forward.
