Wide entrance with segmental-headed opening built of dressed limestone located on first floor of south gable. Remains of timber and iron waterwheel, c. 12 feet in diameter located on south end of east façade. Remains of timber trough and sluice gate indicate that waterwheel was overshot by water directed under road. Remains of four millstones (sandstone) and varierty of iron cogs, sieves to mill interior, now in poor repair. An extension is located to the north appears to have been constructed partially of compacted earth. A detached two-bay two-storey grain drying kiln built of randomly coursed limestone with a timber louvred vent built into roof is located to the south east.
