The surviving remains comprise a beam engine installation housed within its dedicated engine house, along with the substantial base of an associated chimney stack, elements typical of early nineteenth-century mill infrastructure. These structures document the technological transition from water-powered to steam-powered production, reflecting the industrial development that transformed Dungannon's economy during this period.
