Old Mill
In the late seventeenth century, the old mill was built on the river Duineil and used as a corn mill, the farmers brought the corn to the mill, and there it was dried and ground into meal. As there was no electricity that time, the power to run the mill was got from the water being diverted from the river to the mill. The fall of the water was used to turn a big wheel that created the power. This mill was closed down in 1880. Early in the 1900's the Sweeney family took over the mill. They used the ground floor as a slaughter house for pigs and the second floor as a workshop for making horse and donkey carts, coffins and other carpentry work. In 1950 the slaughter house closed and in 1965 the workshop closed. The building has not been used since. The original owner was John Fenton.

Old Fair Day
John Fenton gave two and a half acres of green land for the purpose of holding fair days in Dromore West. There was twelve held every year. Those fair day were successful. The farmers brought their cattle, sheep, and pigs and sold them to other farmers or cattle dealers. In 1870 William B Lougheed became the owner of the fair green. The fair continued until 1975 by then marts had taken over.

The Workhouse
Following the "Poor Law Act" of 1833 the country was divided into 92 poor law unions, with each union having to build a workhouse. Dromore West was one of those unions and the workhouse was built at Carigeens. The workhouse stands on a 7 acres site and was built at a cost of £4,650 and a fitting bill of £815. At the workhouse the residents were fed gruel and were clothed. After the famine the workhouse continued to provide shelter for those in need and also a hospital like service for the sick. The building also housed a small church and to the rear of the building is an old burial ground. The workhouse was finally vacated in 1920. The Republican troops occupied the workhouse during the civil war and it was burned down in July 1922. Today the workhouse is used as a family home and also is used as an art centre for a local artist.

Old Emigration Agency
Close to the workhouse was Daniel Culkins Shipping & Emigration Agency where people could book their passage to America and other pastures new. Culkin's Emigration Shop is now a small museum housing the original shop front of the building and also some interesting historical artefacts relating to the Famine period.

O'Dowd Castle
In the townland of Dunneil lies the ruins of O'Dowd's Castle. The castle was used by Red Hugh O'Donnell in the year 1601 when he visited the area in a bid to gain support from the chiefs in Tieragh for his campaign against the British. A re-enactment of this visit was held in the village in January, 2001.

Mass Rock
In Gleneaskey there stands an old Mass Rock. This is in a secluded area in a valley and was used in penal times where people from miles around came in their droves, to hear Mass and worship at the Altar The Mass Rock Area has been restored during one of our Fas Schemes and is now a place of annual pilgrimage. It is locally known as "Cnocan na H" alltora"
