I have been searching for this site for years. Found due to winter flooding and now low rivers. Site of 1600s corn mill in Loughry last used in mid 1800s

Two retted beets from flax grown at the Moneymore allotments. A lot of hard work involved. About 12 more left to do.

I survived one week and a bit without a mobile. Very impractical as i use it mostly as a torch for photos. Anyway an Ards door will clear things up. Ive seen three of these on my travels this week.
