The precise location of a medieval mill on the border of Kildallan North and Sonna Demesne has not been identified. The Corn Mill and Tuck Mill depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map located on the townland boundary may be the site of the mill mentioned in the terrier of the 1655-9 Down Survey map of Templeoran parish. The terrier states that a Rivolett passeth through it through the Towne of Kildolan and Sonnagh on which Standeth a mill belonging to Sonnagh.
