It declared that the earliest tidal mill so far discovered in Europe was excavated at Nendrum, Northern Ireland. It was built between 619 and 621 for an early Christian monastery (there's always a monastery involved somewhere). The research says "Tidal mills have continued in use until modern times but were always rare by comparison with standard riverine mills". You don't come across the word 'riverine' every [...]
