A mill at Monaseed was owned by Henry Masterson in 1640, but this was ruined by the time of the Civil Survey (1654-6) (Simington 1953, 7, 30). A mill is marked on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map at Millquarter on a W-facing slope in the valley of the N-S River Lask, c. 60m from the stream. The mill survives as a two-storey structure (ext. dims. 7.1m N-S; 6.1m E-W) with walls 0.6m thick. Two large beams support the first floor, but no milling equiptment survives. The head race (L c. 500m), still with a strong flow of water, runs parallel with the stream until it turns W along the N side of the mill. There is a later structure attached to the W of the mill. The date of the mill building is unknown but it is probably on the site of the original.
