What is recorded here
Inchamullen Mill stands as a ruined corn and tuck complex near Reenascreena, where a shared water race still feeds two rectangular stone chambers. The larger building holds a pair of conglomerate millstones, while the smaller northern structure once processed tobacco or similar crops. Both rely on wheel pits cut into their walls and high stone platforms that directed the head race. The design suggests one stream did double duty, forcing whoever lived nearby to manage two hunger-driven tasks with a single current.
Near stream, 4km E of Reanascreena. Remains of rectangular (L 5.3m; Wth 4.6m) corn mill; wheel pit (Wth 0.9m) along NW elevation. High stone platform carried head race. Pair of conglomerate millstones in interior. Remains of rectangular tuck mill (L 4m; Wth 3.3m) to N. Wheel pit (Wth 1.15m) along W elevation; platform similar to above abuts wheel-pit to S; carried head race from corn mill. Both mills share the same mill race.
