Per your question of knowing of other boring mills (unexcavated) in the
US, a 1977 book by Daniel, Larry J. & Riley W. Gunter called
Confederate Cannon Foundries lists the CSA production facilities. In
the Richmond, VA area are the Tredegar Iron Works, and Bellona Foundry.
Bellona in particular had a contract with the USA to produce cannon
well before the Civil War. Both Tredegar and Bellona have had limited
excavations, but not on the boring mill parts of the complexes. Samson
& Pae did contract work boring cannon for Tredegar and possibly
Bellona.

Hope this helps.
