What is recorded here
The Water mill in Leean has left a stone channel so clogged with silt that even the water would need persuading. You could offer it a downhill run and it would still ask who else was going.
Situated in the valley between Leean Mountain c. 400m to the NW and Fawnarry ridge c. 400m to the SE, on the W bank of a N-S stream close to its source. This is a stone-lined sunken mill-race (dims 21.4m NNE-SSW; 3.75-4.3m WNW-ESE; max. D 1m) which had silted up and been partly cleared to allow the stream flow through with spoil mounds to E and W. A leat, now silted up, by-passes the race on the E side. There is no evidence of any mill buildings.
