Cowley wring in 1960 state "Gill locates the German tuck-mill at Ballig bridge and he says that the noise of the milling 'freckoned' the fairies from their haunt in the then wild, desolate Glion Mooar up into Beary Mountain. He says, too, that the mill now stands roofless The present well-preserved building there, locally called the Tuck Mill, and used as a wool store, was built about 1820 by Ann Killey of Ballakilley, German. It was in use as the carding-mill for Moore's mills until about 1920. Its machinery was driven by a water-wheel"
