On 20 May 1796, Marcus Lynch leased land from Viscount Midleton, and having received rights to use the waters of the Dungourney River, Lynch in partnership with two London traders, erected a large woollen mill.

In 1803, at some point of the Napoleonic Wars, this mill changed into bought by means of the Government for £20,000 and converted for makes use of as a barracks and stables, although part of the premises became leased back to Lynch. 18 years later, with both Lynch and the barracks long past, the Government sold the building to Lord Middletown brother, the Archbishop of Cashel, for £1,750, a steep discount on what they had paid for it. When the Archbishop died in 1824, Lord Midleton bought the assets for the equal fee.
