Cregg Mill, Flour mill in County Galway, Ireland.
Cregg Mill is a four-story limestone building near Corrandulla village with a stone facade and concrete floors from later renovations. The structure contains residential spaces, the former miller's house, and an apartment within the main building.
The mill was built between 1760 and 1800 as one of three watermills at the Cregg River bridge. During the Great Famine it became a distribution point for grain and food to those in need.
The mill served as a gathering place where farmers from surrounding lands brought their harvests for processing. This work shaped daily life in Annaghdown and connected people through shared agricultural needs.
The mill sits about 14 kilometers from Galway City and is accessible by road through rural countryside. It can be visited throughout the year, and the grounds around the building are walkable.
The building was originally known as Drumgriffin Mill and processed wheat, rye, oats, and barley using traditional methods. Grain was dried in kilns as a key step before being ground into flour.
