Mill; formerly used for stone-grinding. Early - mid C19, with few later
alterations. The mill was in operation until circa 1965. Granite rubble with
granite dressings and quoins. The roof was formerly of slate and shingles, with
gable ends.
Plan: There are two rectangular mill houses, with the wheel pit between the two;
overshot wheel formerly powered from a leat at the rear, with the tailrace running
along the front of the mill houses.
Exterior: Each mill house is 2-storey at the front, built into the bank and single
storey at the rear. Each has a symmetrical front, each the same, with two round-
arched doorways at ground floor with keystones and window openings above. The front
is much overgrown. The wheel is set centrally, cast iron wheel with cast iron
launder at the rear. The right gable end of the mill house has loading door at upper
ground level with granite lintel and small gabled hoist housing above the pulley

openings, with an unexplained circular projection in stone rubble to left. The mill
house to right has similar door and window openings.
