A relatively intact water mill perhaps acting secondarily to the steam-powered mill integral in the Scar House farm complex. The wheel is no longer evident, although the round-arched entrance to the E, along with the traditional stone tiles remain. Hume notes that the mill once had a revolving kiln vent, now missing.
