Three-bay three-storey corn mill and kiln, built c.1850, having two-bay one-and-half storey mill house attached to west end, with lean-to roofed extension to rear (south) of latter. Corrugated-iron lean-to addition to east elevation, at former position of mill wheel. Pitched slate roofs. Random rubble stone walls, with remnants of lime render visible in places. Gauged-masonry square-headed window openings, with timber fittings, one to front having glazed panels and metal bars. Gauged-masonry square-headed door openings to front and west elevation, with timber battened doors. Timber chute to ceiling of ground floor to interior of mill. Vaulted passage and fire-hole to interior of kiln.
Although its wheel and much of its internal fittings have been lost, this mill retains much of its original form and character. A comprehensive unit which incorporated a kiln as well as accommodation for the miller, it is a substantial building which makes a positive impact on the landscape and serves as a reminder of the prevalence of industry and tillage in the economy of south Ulster.
